VINCE NEIL Begins Serving DUI Sentence

February 15, 2011

MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil turned himself in to the Clark County Detention Center this morning to begin serving a 15-day sentence for DUI and speeding.

Neil pled guilty in Las Vegas Justice Court last month and will spend two weeks in jail, followed by another 15 days of house arrest. He will also pay a $585 fine and attend DUI school and attend a victim impact panel online.

Neil failed three field sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit during his June 27, 2010 Las Vegas arrest.

"I made a mistake, and I have to finally learn my lesson and go do a little bit of time," Neil told People.com last month. "I've already learned my lesson."

Of his arrest, Neil said, "I just have to move on and get past it and get it behind me."

Neil was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence in 1984 after he caused a car crash that killed his passenger, HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley, and seriously injured two people in a second vehicle. He served 30 days in jail and was on probation for five years.
