Court transcripts show Douglas’ probation officers sympathising with the shamed star, assuring the judge that “relapse is part of the recovery process.”

“I guess what I want to tell you is that since I’ve come back, I’ve worked really hard, and this hiccup is unfortunate, but I don’t foresee it happening again,” he said.

In 2010 Douglas was sentenced to five-years in prison for possession of heroin and selling methamphetamine.

His sentence was later extended by two-years after illicit drugs were found in his possession.
