It's hard to dispute a .175 blood alcohol level -- which is why actor Sam Shepard just pled guilty to DUI and speeding.
Shepard -- who starred in "The Notebook" and "Swordfish" -- told an Illinois judge during today's 20-minute hearing, "I never intend to drive under the influence again... it's not worth it." Sam was busted last month for driving 46 MPH in a residential zone while sauced.
He was fined $600 plus court costs, placed on 24 months court supervision, has to complete an alcohol treatment course and 100 hours of community service, according to the pantagraph.com.

It's not worth it?!?! You mean the fine and the inconvenience of coming to court? How about "My gawd! I could have killed innocent people by doing that! I'm so ashamed!" Dumb ass.

That's It??? Just a little fine of 600??? He needs to come down to AZ and get a real punishment. That would be considered Super Extreme DUI and would be an AUTOmatic 45 Days in Tent City with up to $2500 in Fines!! Not to mention all the alcohol classes and the IGNITION Interlock!
Dude Got Off Soooo Dam Lucky!!

I totally agree with the poster "L". That is exactly what I thought of when I read it. You wonder if he thought it would have been worth it if he hadn't been caught? He's a total alkie. They cannot assume responsibility.
