Lawyer: Steve-O has been sober for 85 days
Steve-O pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession on Tuesday in a Los Angeles courthouse.
He was ordered to attend rehab for two years.
The plea is part of a deal that will keep the Jackass star, 33, out of jail.
“Steve is doing great - he has been sober for 85 days,” his lawyer, Barry Gerald Sands, tells Usmagazine.com. “His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behavior and continuation with the program he is in.”
Sands added that Steve-O “is currently living in a sober house and has straightened up.”
Steve-O was arrested in March after feuding with a neighbor over a fence. Cops found drugs on him and booked him. He initially pleaded not guilty.
After the arrest, he checked into a UCLA center for psychiatric treatment.
In a blog post, Steve-O said his pal Johnny Knoxville “came to my home” and physically “forced me into the hospital.”

I was always so repulsed by this guy. I really hope that he is able to stay clean. Battling an addiction is one of the hardest things to do.
