LAS VEGAS – Former “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss has been sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to felony drug charges in the rural Nevada town where she lives.

Fleiss’ lawyer, Robert Hill, [both pictured] says Nye County District Court Judge John Davis in Pahrump followed terms of a plea deal at sentencing on Tuesday.

Fleiss pleaded guilty July 7 to unlawful use of methamphetamine and possession of the painkiller hydrocodone without a prescription.

The charges stem from a Feb. 7, 2008, arrest outside a plumbing supply store in Pahrump, 96 kilometres west of Las Vegas.

Fleiss is 43. She moved to Nevada after serving prison time in California for running a prostitution ring.
