George Michael goes to jail

George Michael is in jail for driving while on drugs and having cannabis. Police arrested the singer in July after he drove his car into a photo shop in London. This was the second time in three years they arrested him for driving while on drugs.

In 2007 a judge banned George for driving for two years. Last week a judge banned him from driving for five years and told him he would have to go to jail. The judge said, "I accept that you have shown remorse for theoffence . However, it does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis.”

Police in the UK and the US have arrested George five times in the last 12 years - mostly for taking drugs. The singer got an eight-week sentence but is expected to spend fewer than four weeks in jail.
