Celebrity Drug and Violent Crimes and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys

Posted on: June 15, 2011 at 11:56 p.m.

The last few weeks have seem some serious crimes involving celebrities, most of which have required a skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney. These crimes have involved violence, drugs and more, which carry jail time and heavy fines, even for misdemeanors. Recently, Ex-CSI star Gary Dourdan was arrested for possession of ecstasy after cops claimed the actor had a few pills on him. The actor had crashed his car into two parked cars and during the investigation the police found the pills and arrested the actor on a drug possession charge. he was sent to a nearby station, was booked and had bail set at $10,000. He has been arrested for drug offenses before, having pled guilty to possession of cocaine and ecstasy after an incident in Palm Springs. Hiring a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney who has both drug offense experience and experience with repeat offenses will be vital. Another celebrity was arrested for domestic violence, interfering with the release of a major movie. Faizon Love, who voices Bruce the Bear in the upcoming Zookeeper film starring Kevin James as the title character. He was arrested for domestic violence, however it was fourth degree domestic assault, the lowest domestic violence charge there is. He is currently on probation for assault, and was denied bail for quite some time. Hiring a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney who is skilled at dealing with probation and probation violations could help keep Love out of prison.

Even celebrities have their lives fall apart when dealing with such serious issues as domestic violence and drug abuse. These crimes involve jail time, heavy fines, years of probation and more. For Mr. Love, his film career could be in serious jeopardy, as could the career of anyone involved in a domestic violence dispute. For people working in an office, or even for a small company, employers will not hire people with certain types of records, which includes domestic violence. This crime is shameful, even though each case is rarely as cut and dried as the general public would like to believe.
