Ex. Phish singer Trey Anastasio has been sentenced to three years’ probation in relation to a 2006 drug conviction, after the charge was reduced to a little misdemeanour. In April 2007, the rock star pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, after police found heroin, Xanax and Vicodin in his car during a routine traffic stop in December 2006. He agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors, which stated his drug charge would be reduced upon completion of a drug counselling and treatment program. Failure to do so would result in a three-year prison stint.But Anastasio has successfully fulfilled the terms of the plea agreement and he is expected to graduate from the drug program next month. And, during an appearance at a Fort Edward, New York State court on Wednesday, a judge reduced the 43-year-old’s guilty plea to a misdemeanor.
