Courtney Love sentenced to 180 days in rehab
Rock star violated her probation and could have been sentenced to jail time
A subdued Courtney Love, clutching a copy of Bob Dylan’s autobiography, was sentenced Friday to 180 days in jail for violating her probation, but will serve her time in a live-in drug treatment center.
The troubled rocker has been living at a lock-down substance abuse facility since admitting in August she had used drugs, a violation of her probation. A Los Angeles judge said she would be spared jail time because of the headway she made in rehabilitation.
“I’m very pleased with your progress. I think this is an excellent first step on the road to recovery,” Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin told Love after studying a report on her treatment.
