The short version: D loses his driver's license for 18 months total, and has 100 days in jail suspended. The coke charge is going to a Circuit court grand jury. Since he appealed the guilty verdicts to the Circuit court, it looks like they're going to try to consolidate those charges with the coke charge and have them hadnled together (probably to get the DUI/pot dropped).

(From the Richmond Times-Dispatch) Grammy Award-winning R&B artist Michael Eugene Archer, better known as D'Angelo, pleaded guilty today to possession of marijuana and driving under the influence of alcohol resulting from a traffic stop in Chesterfield County in January.

Archer, a native of Richmond and resident of Midlothian, waived his preliminary hearing on a third charge of possession of cocaine, a felony. A judge certified that charge to a Chesterfield Circuit Court grand jury.

Archer was fined $250 and given a 90-day suspended jail term on the DUI conviction. In addition, his driver's license was suspended for 12 months.

On the marijuana charge, Archer was fined $50 and given a 10-day suspended jail term. His driver's license was suspended for an additional six months.

Archer appealed both the marijuana and DUI convictions to Chesterfield Circuit Court, authorities said.

Archer was pulled over at 4:10 a.m. Jan. 9 in the 3100 block of Polo Parkway, where he was charged with driving under the influence. A subsequent search yielded some marijuana and .029 grams of cocaine.

Archer's first run-in with the law in Chesterfield occurred in November 2002, when he was arrested at his home on misdemeanor charges of aggressive driving, assault and curse and abuse, and disorderly conduct. Those charges stemmed from an alleged confrontation on Nov. 17, 2002, with a woman at the Bellgrade Texaco on Huguenot Road in which she said the artist cursed at and spit on her.

In March 2003, Archer reached a civil settlement with the woman and was fined $500 after pleading no contest to obstruction of justice.
