'One Tree Hill' star sentenced to prison (original) (raw)

One Tree Hill star Antwon Tanner has been handed a prison sentence following a fake identity scam.

In April 2009, Tanner - Skills in the CW teen drama - was charged with selling 16 social security numbers and three fake social security cards.

Last summer, he pleaded guilty to selling more than a dozen social security numbers for $10,000.

According to Newsday, a Brooklyn judge has ordered the 34-year-old actor to report to prison on April 30. After he is released, he will also serve five months in home detention.

He has described the incident as "an embarrassment" to his family and fans, while his lawyer blamed the act on "stupidity".
