Kelsey Grammer, who plays a psychiatrist on NBC's "Cheers," will enter a Los Angeles drug abuse education program to avoid a possible prison term for cocaine possession.
He told a Municipal Court judge Wednesday he missed a court appearance the previous day because of confusion over dates.Grammer, 34, who plays Frasier Crane on the popular sitcom, was accused of one felony count of cocaine possession.
Police say Grammer was stopped while driving April 14 for having an expired license plate. En route to the police station, he allegedly dropped a small packet containing about a quarter-gram of cocaine on the seat of the police car, prosecutors said.
