A judge warned Peter Robbins that he could be sent to prison for nearly four years if he violates the terms of his probation. He sentenced him to one year in jail, but immeditely suspended it and ordered him to attend a drug treatment programme instead.
"Don't be a blockhead," Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring told Robbins, borrowing a line from Charlie Brown's friend Lucy.
Robbins, 56, choked back tears as he told the judge that treatment for alcoholism and addiction to prescription medications would be a first step toward becoming "the fun-loving person" he was. He said he loved his former girlfriend, and he apologised to her and her plastic surgeon "for any fear that I caused."
Robbins, who has been in jail since his arrest in January and pleaded guilty in April, received five years' probation. He was ordered to pay the plastic surgeon $15,082 (£9,600) in restitution and to avoid contacting her for 10 years.

As Robbins listened, the judge said “Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...”
