He also was placed on five years' probation.

"I have heard you are the most powerful man in Alabama," the judge said. "I don't know if that is true, but it is a tragedy to see you before me."
Jerry Rubin, the Yippie-turned-yuppie, has a new money-making scheme: selling an earth-colored drink packed with ingredients like kelp, ginseng and bee pollen.
The 51-year-old Rubin has been recruiting salespeople for his headquarters in Wallingford, Conn. They will sell a nutritional drink called Omni IV.
"This is the best business opportunity for the average American to make a living and break out of the corporate cocoon," Rubin said Thursday. "It's going to be in the '90s what real estate was to the '80s.
"What I think the 1990s is going to be about is nutrition and entrepreneuring."
Charles Colson, the convicted Watergate figure, says America is losing a generation of children because they're not being taught right from wrong.
"We have come to a point where we don't believe in absolutes. Schools are not value neutral, they're value hostile. We're losing a generation because we're not teaching them right from wrong," he said.
He said it's not enough to teach children to just say no. "We need to teach them why you say no."
Colson, 58, former special counsel to President Nixon, also told the 1,200 people attending the Lincoln, Neb., Leadership Prayer Breakfast about his Prison Fellowship Ministries. It has 250 full-time employees and 33,000 volunteers.
"The love of God takes us into those dark holes, witnessing to prisoners and their families," he said.
Helen Reddy believes the world would be a better place if more women were in charge.
Reddy, who recorded "I Am Woman," an anthem for the feminist movement, spoke to a group of about 200 Thursday at Marshall University in recognition of International Women's Day.
She listed war, poverty, hunger, children and elderly among female concerns.
"We need more shelters for battered women and children," she said. "We have more shelters for animals" than women and children.
Reddy encouraged feminists to take the lead in politics. "If you have the slightest interest in running for office, do it," she said.
Jennifer O'Neill says that after six marriages, she's had enough.
"When I say that (about being married six times), I feel absolutely ridiculous because my parents have been married 44 years and they still bossa nova around at lunch," the 42-year-old actress is quoted as saying in a taping of "The Joan Rivers Show" to be broadcast Tuesday.
"The only thing I can say is I don't give up. I think I have now, though. I've given [marriage] up for Lent."
O'Neill, who has been in 27 films, first married at age 17. She has three children, ranging from age 2 to 22, and is currently separated from her sixth husband, Richard Allen.
