Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, was sentenced last month to three years of probation and ordered to complete 52 Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings as well as 360 hours of community service. According to prosecutors from the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, Green gave the banned drug ecstasy to a 33-year-old woman at a Los Angeles restaurant.</p><br clear="all"/>
