DETROIT (AP) - Former ``Baywatch'' star Yasmine Bleeth was sentenced Wednesday to two years probation on a cocaine-possession charge.
The actress also must undergo regular drug tests, serve 100 hours of community service and pay court costs, said Christopher Coyle, a deputy chief trial attorney for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
As part of an agreement with the prosecutor's office, Bleeth pleaded guilty in November to possessing less than 25 grams of a controlled substance, cocaine, and to driving while impaired. Another possession charge was dismissed as part of the agreement.
Bleeth, 33, spent the night in jail in Romulus, near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, after patrol officers found what they suspected was cocaine in her purse during their investigation of a car accident on Sept. 12. Charges also came from a search of Bleeth's hotel room.
Police said she drove off Interstate 94 and onto the freeway's median. In the vehicle with her was her friend, Paul Cerrito, of suburban Detroit.
Cerrito was charged with one count of possession of less than 25 grams of cocaine and a count of being a habitual offender-third offense.
Police said Bleeth and Cerrito were in Michigan visiting Cerrito's relatives.
Bleeth, who lives in Los Angeles, has appeared in the Don Johnson police series ``Nash Bridges.'' She also co-starred in ``Titans,'' a nighttime soap that was canceled in December 2000 because of low ratings. <a href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20020109/en/people_bleeth_sentenced_1.html">Yahoo!
