George Michael won’t be wearing his Ray-Ban Sunglasses in Jail!
By James (SelectSpecs) - September 16, 2010
47 year George Michael has been given an eight-week sentence, fined £1,250 and banned from driving for 5 years after crashing his Range Rover while under the influence of cannabis.
"Wham!" star George Michael rocked up to the Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in London dressed as if he was attending a red carpet event wearing a smart suit and the fashionable Ray-Ban RB3211 Sunglasses to receive his award sentence after crashing his Range Rover into a branch of photographic store Snappy Snaps in London back in July.
The Snappy Snaps store where the crash happened. The owners are in no hurry to repair the damage after the store became a bit of a tourist attraction after the incident.
This is not the first time (and is unlikely to be the last) that George Michael has had a brush with the law as this history shows:
- April 1998 Arrested in LA for "engaging in a lewd act" in a public toilet. Ordered to pay a $810 fine and 80 hours community service.
- February 2006 Arrested for possession of Class C drugs. Cautioned and released.
- June 2007 Charged with driving while unfit through drugs. Given a two-year driving ban and 100 hours community service.
- September 2008 Arrested for possession of Class A and C drugs. Cautioned and released.
- August 2010 Charged with driving under the influence of drugs and possession of Class B drugs. Given six-month interim driving ban until sentencing.
- September 2010 Sentenced to eight weeks in prison, fined £1,250 and given a five-year driving ban.

Lets hope this teaches him and other celebrities a lesson in that they are no different from the rest of us and are not above the law!
