Royce Da 5’9 has shared how he ended up going to jail after getting too many DUIs.
“I made everything more difficult. I turned everything into the long way. It just got to a point where I got DUIs, like a lot of drinking and driving, so I end up going to jail for a year. I was leaving the house, like I think I gave my son a high-five, thinking I’m going to another day in court. My lawyer told me I’d be fine, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll be right back.’ I came back a year later,” Royce says around the 17:30-mark.
“The prosecuting attorney recommended probation, but the judge was like, ‘No, I’m going to do that.’ She said, ‘Mr. Montgomery, do have anything to say before I sentence you?’ I was like, ‘I don’t have much to say your honor. I’m sorry,’ whatever I said. Whatever it was, it wasn’t good enough. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
Royce has been sober now for years.
