Stephen Shane DeBusk, known as "Shane Rambeaux," was sentenced by visiting state District Judge Sam Bass after his lawyer struck a deal with prosecutors. DeBusk, 28, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of a controlled substance. DeBusk said later he wanted to thank his family, friends and listeners for the "thousands" of calls, letters and e-mails of support. "I do not condone drugs. I just hope that people will understand that there are trials and tribulations that everyone goes through and this too shall pass," DeBusk said. DeBusk said if he successfully complete the terms of his probation he won't have a conviction on his record, and that he hopes to keep working in Houston radio. DeBusk's employers, country-western radio station KKBQ 92.9 FM, had no comment about his employment status. DeBusk and the other disc jockey arrested with him, Craig Bryant Caudill, were suspended by the station pending the outcome of their cases. Caudill, whose on-air name is "Dusty McGee," was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday but his appearance was rescheduled to Oct. 7. Police have said the two were in a vehicle driven by Caudill when they were arrested and that an undercover officer saw them sniffing cocaine together. DeBusk had been broadcasting live from a KKBQ van in the parking lot of Graham Central Station, 3316 S. Shaver, when the arrest occurred.
