Despite having four open cases in court at the same time, Busta Rhymes, the 35-year-old rap veteran with an anger management problem, is steering clear of jail. Instead, the judge gave him three years probation.

The 35-year-old Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was also ordered to perform 10 days of community service; pay a $1,250 fine, plus court costs; and enroll in a drunken driving program. According to Busta's lawyer, Scott Leemon, "He's done" with all legal action stemming from the last couple years in NYC.

After the sentencing, Busta told reporters he was looking forward to, among other things, "running around and showing love." That sounds like a probation violation waiting to happen. [TMZ]
