Alec Baldwin apparently landed in the courtroom of Manhattan's most easygoing judge Thursday.
Judge John Delury gave the "30 Rock" star a chance to clear his record when he adjourned Baldwin's case for riding his bicyclist the wrong way on a New York City street, reports the New York Daily News.
"Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?" the judge asked Baldwin.
"Sure, sure," the actor replied.
"Be a good boy from now on," Delury said. "Have a good day."
"Sure, sure," the actor replied.
"Be a good boy from now on," Delury said. "Have a good day."
And just like that, Baldwin escaped legal trouble with an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal for his illegal May 13 bicycle ride that ended in a shout-down with two city cops and Baldwin's arrest, captured in a photo published by In Touch Weekly.
The adjournment came moments after Baldwin told the judge he would rather pay a fine than apologize for his encounter with police officers that witnesses described as belligerent and curse-laden.
Now, if Baldwin can remain trouble free for six months, the charge again him will be dropped.
Should we lay odds on the likelihood of that?
