JACKASS star STEVE-O is heading to rehab after reaching a deal with prosecutors and pleading guilty to felony drug charges.

The troubled 33-year-old – real name Stephen Glover – had previously pleaded not guilty to counts of cocaine possession following his 3 March (08) arrest on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours’ property in Los Angeles.

But the professional stuntman decided to confess to the crime on Tuesday (03Jun08) in a bid to rid him of his legal woes.

His lawyer Barry Sands tells website TMZ.com that if the star enrolls in a narcotics programme within the next 48 hours and remains “on good behaviour”, the case will be dropped altogether.

Steve-O received treatment at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center just days after the March incident, when he allegedly attempted suicide.
