Today a Los Angeles judge has extended Nicole Richie’s probation by a year.
Nicole, 28, is still on probation from her DUI in 2006, when she was arrested for driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway. Nicole later admitted to smoking marijuana and taking Vicodin before driving. For this offense she spent a whopping 82 minutes in jail.
Her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley said Nicole was given a leave of absence from her alcohol education classes while she raised her kids, Harlow 2, and Sparrow, 9 months. The terms of her probation included taking alcohol ed classes.
Richie’s probation has been extended until March 2011, but if Nicole finishes her classes early, the probation will end.
