George Michael has been sentenced to eight weeks in prison and a fine of $1,250 after pleading guilty to possessing cannabis and driving under the influence. The charges relate to his July 4th arrest in London when he lost control of his Range Rover and smashed it into a store. He is likely to serve at least four weeks and seemed shocked when the term was read out. Passing the sentence, the district judge said he “accepted [George had] shown remorse and is ashamed” of what happened. George had previously admitted smoking cannabis before driving, saying he had also forgotten he had taken an anti-anxiety drug. The judge called the mixture “dangerous and unpredictable.” George was previously banned from driving for 24 months after he was found slumped at the wheel of his car in May 2007. He admitted he had taken illicit substances. He was also cautioned for possessing drugs in 2008.
