Without comment, the high court Monday rejected Larry Fortensky's argument that police acting on an anonymous tip violated the Constitution's ban on unreasonable search and seizure.
California Highway Patrol officers stopped Fortensky on Oct. 26, 1987, after a caller reported his license number and the location of his truck.
Although Fortensky wasn't driving erratically or violating traffic laws, officers gave him sobriety and alcohol breath tests. He failed and was charged.
Fortensky pleaded no contest to drunken driving and having an open alcohol container in the truck, but appealed his conviction. The California appeals court confirmed it and the state Supreme Court denied a review.
Meanwhile under the sentence, he served three years' probation, paid a $1,178 fine and attended an alcohol abuse program. He met Taylor while both were treated for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center. They were married in October 1991. A month later, he pleaded guilty to another drunken-driving charge.
Christian Slater is the most desirable actor in Hollywood, according to fans selecting the MTV Movie Awards. So it's no wonder he shared the prize for best on-screen smooching.
Sharon Stone won as best actress for "Basic Instinct," and also was chosen as the most desirable female in film.
Denzel Washington was named best actor for "Malcolm X." The military courtroom drama "A Few Good Men" won as best movie.
Slater was recognized for steamy acting in"Untamed Heart." He shared best kiss honors with co-star Marisa Tomei, who also took MTV's breakthrough performance prize for her Oscar-winning role in "My Cousin Vinny."
Danny Glover and Mel Gibson were selected as best on-screen duo for "Lethal Weapon 3" and Jennifer Jason Leigh won as best villain for her work playing a demented roommate in "Single White Female."
Voting was done by MTV viewers through Entertainment Weekly magazine and by telephone. The awards show is scheduled for broadcast on the cable channel on Wednesday.
