Tyler Christopher — best known for his appearances on “General Hospital” for 20 years — got a break from the judge in his public intoxication case because the judge rejected the plea of a cop who begged hizzoner to put Tyler into a treatment program for alcoholism.
The Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office tells TMZ … Tyler pled guilty to 2 counts of misdemeanor public intoxication following his Monday night arrest in Martinsville, Indiana.
Tyler was booked Monday on his 47th birthday and stayed locked up until his release two days later.
Tyler was ordered to pay a $440 fine. He’s got until next week to fork over the dough. And, that’s it … he didn’t get probation and the judge did NOT order him to enter into an alcohol treatment program.
That’s significant because according to the arrest report … cops requested “the judge consider the possible sentence of a treatment facility for Tyler Christopher’s alcohol issues, as well as consider restitution to [the Uber driver] for the damage to his vehicle from Tyler Christopher urinating in his back seat.”

Tyler squared things up with the Uber driver. TMZ broke the story … Tyler passed out in the back seat of an Uber driver’s car and urinated himself on the night he was busted.
Police had received 9 calls about Tyler being intoxicated since September 14. Medical personnel had told law enforcement there was nothing more they could do for him cause they’d already tried to help him … like when Tyler was taken to a medical center for treatment but, against medical advice, checked himself out on the day he got arrested.
