LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jason Priestley has completed an alcohol counseling program he was ordered to attend when he pleaded no contest last year to a drunken driving charge. Priestley's lawyer Peter L. Knecht showed proof in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday that the former star of "Beverly Hills, 90210" completed the three-month program. The 31-year-old actor pleaded no contest on March 28 to a isdemeanor drunken driving charge stemming from a December 1999 car crash in the Hollywood Hills. The accident totaled Priestley's Porsche and broke one of his best friend's arms. Knecht said Priestley crashed because he swerved to avoid a deer.
