TAWNY KITAEN FINLEY - MUG SHOT - 20 YRS DRUG ABUSE
Tawny Kitaen - probably best known for those smarmy Whitesnake videos and more recently for her stint on VH-1's The Surreal Life - has been charged with felony drug possession after sheriff's deputies said they found cocaine in her apartment.
Susan Kang Schroeder, a spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney's office. said Kitaen is scheduled to be arraigned on December 18 at Harbor Justice Center in Laguna Niguel.
Schroeder said on Tuesday that if Kitaen is convicted, her sentence could be as light as attending a drug diversion program or a much harsher sentence which would consist of up to three years in prison.
According to authorities, deputies responded to a request for a welfare check in May and found 15 grams of cocaine in Kitaen's San Juan Capistrano apartment. They also said her two children were home at the time and Kitaen had given deputies permission for the search.
It wasn't immediately known whether Kitaen had retained a lawyer.
The mug shot above was taken n 2002, when Kitaen was arrested on charges of spousal abuse. Her husband at the time, former Angels pitcher Chuck Finley and Kitaen got into a fight and Kitaen beat the hell out of the guy. Finley later dropped the charges after the couple divorced and Kitaen agreed to counseling.
