Sometimes parents may look at the path their child is on and ask themselves, ‘Where did I go wrong?’ After the countless legal run-ins the daughter of legendary actor, Laurence Fishburne, has had…pretty sure that’s what he’s asked himself. Why? Because unfortunately his 27 year old daughter, Montana Fishburne -a retired adult film star and exotic dancer- has just added a new legal problem to her life and now police are on high alert for her whereabouts.
Montana Fishburne’s Latest Legal Trouble
It’s just been reported, by The Blast, that a judge issued an arrest warrant for Montana Fishburne on September 5, 2018. After she violated her probation in several ways, police were ordered to ‘arrest her on sight’ and haul her into the courthouse.
So what did Montana do this time, you ask? Well, according to reports, she dodged her random drug test, left the state without permission, and more…
Via TB: The court docs filed in Fishburne’s criminal case accuse her of violating her probation. Specifically, Montana is accused of leaving her county of residence without court approval on August 23, 2018. They claim that she traveled to New York to visit her family.
Laurence’s daughter is accused of also failing to submit to a random blood and urine test last month. The docs also note that she is currently in an outpatient program in West Palm Beach.
This comes approximately seven months after Montana, a reportedly recovering alcoholic, was given a break by the judge, following her embarrassing DUI arrest.
Past Urinating Police Dash Cam Fiasco
This latest legal problem is just another one added to her ever-growing list of troubles. In fact, the probation she recently violated stems from her March 11, 2017 arrest, when Montana was taken into custody after rear-ending a Range Rover on I-95 near Fort Lauderdale. That night, police found an open bottle of wine in her Toyota Corolla. Her blood alcohol level was over twice the legal limit (at .18) and she failed her field sobriety test. The police dash cam footage showed a seemingly drunken Montana Fishburne squatting on the side of a highway in front of police officers and passers-by, urinating next to the cop cars. Needless to say, that video went viral at rapid speed and Laurence Fishburne was shamed again.
Prior Sentencing & Public Shaming
There have been other brushes with the law before Montana’s latest arrest warrant. In 2009, she was arrested for prostitution and there was a 2010 arrest for battery and false imprisonment.
Also as we previously reported, Montana was found guilty of property damage, stemming from her March 2017 accident. However, on Feb. 9, 2018, she entered a plea of ‘no-contest’ for the DUI and was placed on probation for the next 12 months. She was given a laundry list of rules to adhere to.
She was ordered to attend Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) meetings, complete a course at DWI school, and go cold turkey on alcohol and all other intoxicants. Montana was to also be subjected to unannounced breath and urine tests to ensure that everything remained on the up and up regarding her sobriety. Montana’s driver’s license was also suspended.
Her probation demands didn’t stop there though. In addition to the aforementioned orders, the judge also ordered Montana to perform 50 hours of community service. By the way, her Feb. 2018 court appearance came on the heels of a another stint in rehab. Three months prior, in November 2017, she’d entered treatment at Wavelengths Recovery in Huntington Beach, Ca. to try to get herself together.
Sadly, that rehab attempt failed, but hopefully she’ll be able to officially kick her habit in the current court mandated one she’s in now. That is, once the judge finds her.
It’s unclear if at this point Montana needs a hug from her Daddy, whom she once stated was embarrassed by her past adult film career, or if she needs even tougher legal punishment to get her mind right once and for all. Whatever the case, we wish Montana the best.
