MTV star Vincent Margera pleaded guilty Friday to violating bail conditions by possessing cocaine and was sentenced to two years of probation.
Margera was sentenced last month to 10 years to life of intensive supervision as a sex offender for fondling girls during a promotional appearance at the Colorado Mills mall in August 2006.
The two-year sentence will run concurrent to the sex offender probation and paves the way for Margera's probation supervision to be transferred to Pennsylvania, where he lives.
Jefferson County District Judge M.J. Melendez warned Margera to follow the conditions of his probation or he will be sent back to Colorado and will wind up in prison. Under the terms of the probation in the sex case, Margera is banned from portraying his character Don Vito in public for a decade. Melendez said she did not believe additional punishment or more probation conditions were necessary in the case. "Two felonies is plenty," she said.

Hey Judge, would the sentence be the same if he were black and had a public defender?? Think about it, are you trying for your own TV show. You must not have a daughter. You obviously don't read these comments.
