Mickey Madden, bassist for Maroon 5, has been sentenced to one day of community service after being arrested for possessing cocaine in New York earlier this year.
NYPD police officers caught Madden handing a vial of the Class A drug to film producer James Gubelmann outside an East Village neighbourhood bar around 1:30am on January 21. He was offered and accepted a conditional dismissal offer and agreed to the single of day community service. The service will be done for a Los Angeles non profit organisation of his choosing. The offence will also be struck off his record after six months.
Madden is one of Maroon 5's founding members and has won three Grammy awards with them. James "Bingo" Gubelmann is a movie producer best known for the film Detachment.
