MORGAN ORDERED TO WEAR ALCOHOL-TRACING BRACELET

A Los Angeles judge has ordered comedian TRACY MORGAN to wear an ankle bracelet detecting alcohol consumption and to complete five days of community service.

TRACY MORGAN

In a New York court in February (07), Morgan pleaded guilty to drink-driving in November 2006. He was ordered to enter a doctor-supervised alcohol program, undertake community service and avoid being arrested again for six months.

However, the conditional discharge violated a previous drink-driving conviction relating to a December 2005 incident in Hollywood.

So at a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing on Friday (27Apr07), Morgan was ordered to wear a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device on his ankle, which will test for alcohol consumption every 30 minutes for 90 days.

Should Morgan test positive for alcohol use, he will have to start the 90 day period again. If he tests positive twice he will be sent to jail for 30 days.

The actor, who was not present at Friday's hearing, is due in court on 25 May (07) when he will be fitted with the SCRAM device, reports TMZ.com.
