AC/DC's Phil Rudd Faces Prison Time For Violating House Arrest Terms

 
Looks like former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is at it yet again. This does not come particularly as a surprise, but it is sad none the same. Rudd has been arrested yet again; this time for violating the terms of his house arrest.

Rudd was arrested in New Zealand back in November for threatening to kill two people and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis. He had also been charged for hiring a hitman, but that was quickly dropped. For the remaining crimes he was sentenced to 8 months of house arrest.

However, Rudd over the weekend already violated the terms of his fairly light sentence. Instead of going out to party, he had the party come to him by having prostitutes and booze at his house. Now Rudd faces a $2000 fine and up to a year in prison for this violation and is also now subject to on-demand drug testing.

I can't say I blame Rudd for wanting to have some fun while cooped up in his house for an extended period of time, but with the way he does things he really should have thought a bit more about the way in which he cured his ennui. Violating his sentence was of course going to land him in more hot water that he doesn't need to be in at this point. I guess it isn't only the young who make dumb, brash, and unwise decisions. Age does not equal wisdom.
