Former Guns N Roses drummer Steven Adler has had drugs charges dropped by a court in LA after completing a drug programme.
Adler was arrested in January for failing to complete a community service sentence for an earlier drugs charge, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant dating back to 2005. He pleaded no contest to drugs charges and was ordered to attend rehab. On Monday the drummer appeared at the LA Superior Court again and had all charges dismissed, after Commissioner Donald Kennedy praised him for his commitment to kicking his drug habit.
Speaking to reporters outside the court, Adler's lawyer Barry Gerald Sands said that the result was "about the best you can get".
