George Clinton Pleads No Contest.
Funk musician George Clinton has pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charges. Clinton, 63, wore blue jeans and multicolored dreadlocks in court as he was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and two years of probation. He was also fined $372 in court costs. The musician was arrested in December sitting in a car near his Tallahassee recording studio; police said when they approached, he volunteered that he had cocaine in his pocket. He was found with a bag of crack cocaine and a glass pipe, police said. A felony possession charge was dropped before Wednesday's hearing. [
