David Cassidy ordered back to rehab for DUI conviction

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Former teen idol David Cassidy was ordered to enter alcohol rehab for three months after pleading no contest to a drunken driving charge in Los Angeles on Monday.
Cassidy, 63, must also serve five years' probation, pay fines and take part in a nine-month alcohol education program.
He was arrested after a California Highway Patrol officer stopped him for making an illegal turn at a red light near the Los Angeles International Airport in January.
The singer-actor blew .19 -- twice the legal level -- on an alcohol test administered by the officer who stopped his rented Chevrolet Impala, according to a California Highway Patrol statement.
It was his second DUI arrest in six months and third since 2011.
His manager told CNN several days after his latest arrest that Cassidy's drinking was the result of stressful questioning he had just undergone by lawyers about a legal dispute regarding "Partridge Family" profits.
"David just completed a stint in rehab and was doing very well in sobriety," manager Jo-Ann Geffen said.
