George Clinton sentenced over drugs charges

George Clinton has been sentenced to 200 hours' community service, probation and court costs after pleading no contest to two drug paraphernalia charges.

George Clinton, former member of Parliament and Funkadelic, has been sentenced to community service for those previously reported drug offences.

According to the BBC, the 63-year-old funk legend pleaded no contest to two drug paraphernalia charges and was given 200 hours community service. Clinton was arrested in December last year, where police say he volunteered that he had a bag of crack cocaine and a glass pipe.

He will also have to pay $372 in court costs and be on probation for two years. Clinton's lawyer, Matt Willard said that the musician was hoping to teach music education as part of the 200 hours, saying "He's a big supporter of the arts."
