Former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, 37, has been placed on unsupervised 18-month probation and fined $161 (mostly for court costs) after pleading no contest to an assault charge during a 1997 concert. Lee and bandmate Nikki Sixx were arrested after the concert at North Carolina's Greensboro Coliseum, where Sixx allegedly directed racial slurs at a black guard and suggested that audiences members attack him.
