SHAFTER, Calif. - Thomas Jane has pleaded no contest to drunken driving after he was clocked doing 120 mph in a Maserati.

The star of last year’s movie “The Mist” and 2004’s “The Punisher” pleaded no contest Tuesday to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. Jane wasn’t in the Shafter courtroom but made the plea through his lawyer.

Jane, who’s married to Emmy-winning “Medium” star Patricia Arquette, was sentenced to a year of probation, $1,700 in fines and must take alcohol abuse classes.
