LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Kattan has been sentenced to three years’ probation for driving under the influence and crashing his Mercedes into a Department of Transportation vehicle on a Southern California freeway earlier this year.

The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/1sJd2SR ) the former “Saturday Night Live” star was also ordered Thursday to pay a $500 fine and attend an alcohol education program.

A restitution hearing will be held next month to determine how much Kattan owes the state for damage to the DOT vehicle.

Kattan, who was on ‘SNL’ from 1996 to 2003, is best known for the character Mango.

He also starred with Will Ferrell in “A Night at the Roxbury.”
