“Jonathan Rhys Meyers has cut a deal in his DUI case … and he’s going to get the same treatment as an average Joe — no jail time, as long as he keeps his nose clean.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ … the actor copped a plea deal and was sentenced to 1-year summary probation. He’ll pay a $500 fine and must complete an alcohol ed and counseling program.
TMZ broke the story … Jonathan was arrested for misdemeanor DUI back in November 2020, after cops said he crashed his car in Malibu.
JRM was eventually hit with 3 charges — 2 DUI-related charges and 1 for reckless driving. As part of the deal, he ended up pleading no contest to the reckless driving charge, and the other two charges were dropped.
Jonathan’s struggled with substance abuse problems over the years, going to rehab several times.
Good luck to Jonathan.”
