In 2004, he played Randle P McMurphy in the play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest at the Edinburgh Fringe. He twice contracted chicken pox, delaying the
show's opening. [1] While continuing to appear in this play in London's West
End, Slater was asked to play the role of John Watson aka Wonko the Sane for
the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish, produced
by Above the Title Productions.
On December 29, 1989, Slater crashed into a telephone pole in West Hollywood,
California and then led police on a car chase and kicked an officer.
On December 23, 1994, Slater was arrested at John F. Kennedy International
Airport for bringing a gun on to an airplane.
In 1995, his ex-fiance, Nina Huang, sued him for palimony. The two
reportedly settled out of court with Slater paying Huang $100,000.
On August 11, 1997, Slater was arrested by police in Los Angeles and charged
with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of battery
after Slater, drunk and high on heroin, punched his girlfriend in the face
at a party and then attacked a police officer. He was sentenced to three
months in prison, serving 59 days for good behavior.
In 2003, his wife, Ryan Haddon, was arrested for beating up Slater at a Hard
Rock Cafe while on a trip to Las Vegas and he later received stitches.
Slater has filed for divorce from Haddon for spousal abuse.
On May 31, 2005, Slater was arrested around 1:50 a.m. in Manhattan's Upper
East Side, near 93rd Street and Third Avenue, after a woman told police that
a man had grabbed her buttocks. She identified Slater as the man. Slater was
arrested and charged with third-degree sexual abuse. The following July 14,
prosecutors offered Slater a plea bargain but he refused it insisting the
charges were false. On September 19, Slater accepted a better plea bargain
whereby the charges would be dropped if he stayed out of trouble for six
months.
October 31, 2005, Slater fell off a roof of a neighbors house at a Halloween
party at the Hilton Residence in Los Angeles. |
