Simon Baker Avoids Conviction After DUI Admission in Australia

The 'Mentalist' star was placed on a nine-month good behavior bond following his guilty plea.

Simon Baker, known for his role in 'The Mentalist,' pleaded guilty to DUI charges in Mullumbimby, Australia.
The incident occurred on July 20 when Baker's Tesla was seen driving erratically near his Byron Bay home.
A nationwide system outage hindered a standard breath test, leading police to conduct a sobriety test instead.
Magistrate Kathy Crittenden highlighted Baker's remorse and cooperation, leading to a nine-month good behavior bond without a recorded conviction.
Baker has completed a traffic offenders' rehabilitation program and provided character references attesting to his community contributions and remorse.
