Bobby Rydell enters first-time offender program

NORRISTOWN, Pa. - March 3, 2010

Under the terms of the program the 67-year-old Rydell will be on probation for a year and lose his license for two months.

Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Karen Ricca says Rydell can apply to have the charge expunged from his record in a year.

Police say Rydell's 1969 Bentley jumped a curb and struck a wall in the Philadelphia suburb of Narberth in August. No injuries were reported.

Prosecutors say Rydell's blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit at the time of the crash.

Rydell had hits including "Wild One" and "Volare" and appeared in the 1963 movie "Bye Bye Birdie."
