He has been sentenced to 10 weeks in jail, but will be released after 35 days if his behavior is good. "It hurts, but it's a fair sentence," Rollins told an Atlanta TV station.Rockdale County Sheriff Guy Norman says Rollins requested to do his time in solitary. Is the actor worried about his fellow inmates? "He just likes his solitude," the sheriff said. "He just wants to be by himself."
