After nearly four months, Kuffs is finally back on the beat: Actor Christian Slater, arrested in late May for "forcibly touching" an older woman after a night-long bender famously centered around Brother Jimmy's frat-boy blues bar at 93rd and 3rd, is a free man. During a pretrial hearing, a judge dismissed the charges provided that Slater stay out of trouble for the next six months. This means no gleaming of the cube, no ass-grabbing, no poisoning cheerleaders, and certainly no Lohan. So, you know, no career, really.

UPDATE: CourtTV notes that Slater "cheerfully skipped" from his hearing. We'd pay to see that.
