Actress Marley Shelton has escaped jail time stemming from her arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. The Sin City star faced up to six months behind bars and a $1,000 fine if convicted on two counts of DUI following her arrest in April (10) in Hollywood.

But Shelton has agreed to plead no contest to a count of speed exhibition in exchange for having the two DUI charges dismissed. Her lawyer, Trent Copeland, tells TMZ.com she will also pay a $240 penalty and be placed on 24 months informal probation. (MT/WNWCZM/KL)
