AC/DC - Drummer Sentenced To Eight Months Of Home Detention
Phil Rudd, drummer of AC/DC, now has an official sentence for threatening to kill and drug possession charges. While not being sentenced to jail, he must serve eight months of home detention. Judge Ingram told Rudd he would end up behind bars if he breached any of the conditions of his sentence, which includes 24-hour monitoring at his waterfront home.
"I stone cold guarantee that's where you'll end up. I'm not your headmaster, I'm not your father, I'm a judge," Judge Ingram said.
Rudd's lawyers argued Rudd would lose millions of dollars worth of income if he was convicted as he would not be allowed into particular countries with a conviction. But Judge Ingram's reply was simply: "Queen replaced Freddie Mercury."
In ordering Rudd stay confined to his Harbour Drive, Tauranga, home, Judge Ingram also banned him from taking any drugs not prescribed to him.
Speaking from his waterside home in Tauranga, Rudd said: "I wrote them a letter but I've had no contact from anybody," adding he was 'disappointed' not to be touring with AC/DC now. He added: "I do actually [wish] I was [on tour]. I'm fit and ready and ready to go. I'm hoping I'll be discharged... We all make mistakes."
