There won’t be a quick getaway from the law for John Schneider.
The former “Dukes of Hazzard” star was sentenced Monday to three days in jail for failing to pay more than $150,000 in spousal support. He could start serving his sentence as early as Tuesday, according to MSN.com.
“I’m sorry, embarrassed and humiliated to be in this financial situation,” Schneider had previously stated. The actor is also known for playing the father of Clark Kent/Superman in “Smallville.”
Schneider failed to meet the mid-March deadline set by a judge to pay his estranged wife Elly Castle, who is also known as Elvira Schneider. The judge also reportedly ordered Schneider to transfer his property to Castle and resolve the tax lien issues on the property.
In court documents, Castle accused Schneider of “squandering a large portion of his income via investment in his hobby of making low-budget, poorly produced film and television.”
In addition to serving time at Los Angeles County jail, Schneider will have to perform 240 hours of community service.
Schneider and Castle were married in 1993 and have two children together.
