Nick Nolte Arrested

In 1965, Nick Nolte was arrested for selling counterfeit documents and was given a 45-year prison sentence and a $75,000 fine; however, the sentence was suspended. This felony conviction did, however, erase his military-joining eligibility – at the time, he felt obligated to serve in the Vietnam War. As a result, he says he felt incomplete as a young man for not going to Vietnam.

On September 11, 2002, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Malibu, California. Three days later, he checked himself into Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut for counseling. The tests later showed that he was under the influence of GHB. Nolte responded that he has “been taking it for four years and I’ve never been raped.”

On December 12, 2002, Nolte pleaded no contest to charges of driving under the influence. He was given three years’ probation, with orders to undergo alcohol and drug counseling with random testing required.
