Vince Vaughn pleaded no contest to wet reckless driving in a DUI case that originally saw him facing three charges and a possible jail sentence. According to TMZ, Vaughn originally faced charges of driving under the influence, (DUI), disobeying a police officer and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or greater. Now, he will serve three years probation and pay fines that amount to approximately $1700. Vaughn must take an alcohol education class.
Wet reckless driving is a common plea deal for DUI cases that are not as severe. It is based on California Vehicle Code 23103 and states that drugs or alcohol were involved in the situation.
The punishment for wet reckless is significantly less than it is for a traditional DUI.
Vaughn didn’t attend court but his attorney Blair Berk did and was able to get the three misdemeanor charges dropped. Instead, Vince Vaughn pled guilty to one count of wet reckless and was able to bypass jail time.
The charges stem from a June 10, 2018, incident where Vince Vaughn refused to pull over and perform a sobriety test for officers in Manhattan Beach, California.
