Tracy Morgan avoids jail, has to wear ankle bracelet

by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 30th 2007 2:24PM

Tracy MorganWhat is it with 30 Rock stars, anyway? Tracy Morgan and drinking, Alec Baldwin and crazy phone calls. Are we going to hear soon that Tina Fey beat up an old lady for her shoes?

Morgan reached a deal with authorities regarding his drunk driving arrest back in November, which violated his probation (he was arrested before). He won't go to jail, but he will have to wear a SCRAM, which apparently stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring. It's an ankle bracelet that detects alcohol vapors coming through the skin. Yeesh. What happens if you spill rubbing alcohol on it, or eat rum cake?

He'll be tested every half hour for 90 days (!) I wonder if there were any rural jurors who decided his fate or just a judge?

Oophs! Should have read all the article. This new device can detect alcohol though the skin. Sorry about calling whomever and "Idiot". They come up with something new everyday. You can't get anyway with anything any more!

Last time I checked, drinking was NOT illegal for people over 21. Why is that Paris, Mel, and Nicole do not have to wear leashes? In that case all of Hollywood will be wearing them - I mean how does wearing a leash solve the problem?

Ahh, Tracy Morgan. Hire me for the LA-based blogger position and I'll tell you all about the time I sold him about 18 XXX-rated DVDs at Hustler Hollywood. Want to know what type of pornography Tracy said, "is my main source for material" ?
