15 Celebrities You Had No Idea Went To Prison

14. Yasmine Bleeth

Yasmine Bleeth One of the lesser known drugs/DUI charges of recent years, former Baywatch babe Yasmine Bleeth was arrested for drugs possession and driving while impaired in 2001. She had been fighting a losing battle against drugs following the end of Baywatch and joining Nash Bridges. She voluntarily entered rehab in 2000, but it didn't stick. In 2001, she drove her car into the median on Interstate 94 near Detroit, Michigan. Police found several syringes containing cocaine in the car, and a further search of the hotel room found more drugs. Following a plea bargain, the charges were reduced. She ended up only spending a single night in jail, and was sentenced to two years' probation and 100 hours of community service. Following the drugs charge, the bottom fell out of her career. She appeared in a Baywatch TV movie in 2003, and is scheduled to appear in the film Beautiful Evil in 2014. I think probably the reason why we simply don't remember it as easily as we do with the charges against Hilton, Lohan and the like is that she simply doesn't have the media presence that she once had.

I'm a pop culture addict. Television, cinema, comics, games - you name it, and I've done it. Or at least read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia.
