OLIVER STONE HAS AGREED TO ENTER A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM

Oliver Stone Has Agreed To Enter A Drug Treatment Program As Part Of A Plea
bargain that will keep the award-winning director out of jail. Stone, 52,
was arrested for driving under the influence and drug possession in June
after being stopped for erratic driving. The Beverly Hills police said they
found muscle relaxants, painkillers, marijuana and other drugs in his car;
he pleaded not guilty to the charges last month. Under the agreement, Stone
will plead no contest and be required to go through rehabilitation.
