The Wu-Tang Clan's most incoherent MC (which is saying something), Ol' DirtyBastard, was sentenced to one year in a drug rehabilitation facility, three years probation, and a fine of $500 on Friday, November 19|, by Los AngelesSuperior Court judge Marsha Revel. Since he voluntarily entered arehabilitation center in late August, however, Ol' Dirty was given 86 dayscredit towards his year of rehab. He received this sentence as part of aplea bargain with the state of California.

ODB pled no contest to making death threats against a nightclub bouncer andto the felony charge of wearing a bulletproof vest (California's first casetesting the law forbidding convicted felons to wear body armor), but notbefore attempting to explain to the judge how the New York City police wereconspiring against him. According to wire reports, he told Judge Revel,"After I finish the program, I live in New York. What I'm saying is, I gota suit on the city. All the officers know me there; they're going to belooking to lock me up. I don't want no officers to be just kicking on me... I'm talking about getting picked on."

"Well, the next time you see a cop, don't say, 'you can't do shit with me,'and maybe you won't have a problem," Revel advised.

ODB went on to allege that the police faked evidence against him after hisshoot-out with a pair of officers earlier in the year, and at one point toldthe judge, "Jesus loves you."

If Ol' Dirty manages not to get into any further trouble with the law duringthe next 18 months, his felony terrorist threat charge will be reduced to amisdemeanor. - Werner
