TODD BRIDGES

-

ONCE

ended its run, Todd battled cocaine addiction for several years into his 20s.

In 1988, he was arrested and tried for the attempted murder of Kenneth Tex Clay, a Los Angeles drug dealer.

Prosecutor­s argued Todd had shot him while he was “high” but Bridges got OJ Simpson’s attorney Johnnie Cochrane to successful­ly defend him.

However, the spectre of court reared its head again in 1993, when Todd was involved in an altercatio­n with a tenant in his house after a disagreeme­nt about unpaid rent.

Todd was attacked with a sword but retaliated by stabbing his assailant in the chest with a kitchen knife. The charges were dropped after it was decided he had acted in self-defence.

Todd is the now sole survivor from the main cast.
