At 3:30 AM on December 15, 2006, Anastasio was stopped by a Whitehall, NY patrolman for failure to keep right. He was summarily arrested for a DWI-drugs, driving with a suspended license, and possessing prescription drugs in Whitehall, NY. The drugs included Heroin and the prescription drugs hydrocodone, alprazolam, and oxycodone, prescribed to someone else. He was released under the custody of a friend and the court date for these charges was set for January 10, 2007, at Whitehall Village Court. If convicted, he could have faced up to a year in jail. A grand jury later handed Anastasio three felony charges on February 28th, 2007, to which he plead not guilty. On April 13th 2007, Anastasio pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge as part of an agreement to avoid jail time. Instead he will spend 12 to 15 months in part of a drug court program, be subject to random drug tests and perform community service.
I'm with Sarah on this, big shocker.
