Actor Omar Gooding will start off his year in drivers class. The 36-year-old former “Smart Guy” star has made a plea deal with the courts after picking uo a DUI charge this past summer.
In August, Gooding was pulled over for a DUI in Los Angeles, Calif. where police allegedly searched the actor host, leading to the discovery of weed in his possession. According to TMZ, “Under the plea deal … the DUI charges were dismissed. In return, Omar pled to one count of reckless driving.”
In addition to one count of reckless driving, Gooding will be placed on probation for 2 years, attend 12 Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics classes and complete a mandatory alcohol education course. Sounds like a lot to pay for just one night of drinking and driving.
Let this be a reminder folks, to never drink and drive! – ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
