RICHMOND, Va. -- Grammy Award-winning R&B artist D'Angelo received a suspended prison sentence Monday after being convicted of cocaine possession.
D'Angelo, whose real name is Michael Eugene Archer, pleaded no contest to the felony charge in Chesterfield County District Court.
Archer, 31, was sentenced to three years in prison, with the time suspended, but was ordered to pay court costs.
Defense attorney Ned Mikula said Archer is "happy to put this behind him."
Archer is a native of Richmond and a resident of Midlothian, a nearby suburb.
