Jillian Lauren, the best-selling true-crime author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, will avoid jail time after being arrested in connection with a bizarre standoff with Los Angeles police in April.
On Thursday, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Susan J. DeWitt granted Lauren, 52, a mental health diversion that was petitioned by the defense, a spokesperson from the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Entertainment Weekly.
Lauren “was ordered to have quarterly progress reports for the next two years,” the spokesperson added. “Any violation reported to the court may result in potential termination of the diversion. If she successfully completes the conditions of the diversion, the case will be dismissed by the court.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Lauren must avoid the use of drugs and alcohol, attend therapy, and not own firearms.
