Ol' Dirty Bastard Gets One Year In Rehab For L.A. Arrests

A Los Angeles court sentenced notorious rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard to one year in a drug rehabilitation facility and three years formal probation on Frida 929f53j y after he pled no contest to making terrorist threats and to a felony charge of possessingbody armor.

O.D.B., known in court documents as Russell Tyrone Jones, was also fined $500 by Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel and ordered to undergo anger management counseling and to stay away from drugs and alcohol as part of his treatment.

According to the Associated Press, during the proceedings, the rapper complained to the court that police officers were constantly "picking on him." He also told Judge Revel that "Jesus loves you," although this was apparently a reference to the religious figure and not his one-time rap handle, Big Baby Jesus.

Friday's sentence effectively resolves the rapper's West Coast legal woes, dating back to his arrest in September 1998 for making terrorist threats at staff and patrons at a club in West Hollywood.

Ol' Dirty was also jailed in Los Angeles this past February, when the convicted felon was caught wearing a bulletproof vest during a traffic stop.

The rapper is expected to complete his rehab stint at the Impact House in Pasadena, California, where O.D.B. has been laying low since checking himself into a live-in program in August.

After completing his sentence, Ol' Dirty says he plans to move back to New York City, where he still faces charges stemming from a July arrest for drug possession.

Despite the literal trials and tribulations of the past year, Ol' Dirty still managed to release a solo album, "N**** Please," in September.
