<p>A New Zealand judge has sentenced Rudd to eight months of home detention after the musician pleaded guilty to threatening to kill a man who used to work for him, along with possession of drugs methamphetamine and marijuana.</p>
<p>The 61-year-old drummer was sentenced in Tauranga District Court on New Zealand’s North Island. He had been facing up to seven years in prison on the threatening to kill charge.</p>
<p>Rudd pleaded guilty to the charges in April, acknowledging in a court summary of facts that he had offered large amounts of cash, vehicles and a house to an associate after asking him to have the victim “taken out”.</p>
<p>He also acknowledged that he had directly said to the victim that he was going to kill him.</p>

<p>Originally, he had been charged with attempting to procure a murder and threatening the victim’s daughter too, but those charges were dropped.</p>
<p>Rudd’s lawyer put the threats down to “just an angry phone call” and said that a drug conviction would stop him from being able to perform in some countries.</p>
<p>The home detention will take place at Rudd’s Tauranga beachfront home and could end in a jail term if conditions are breached.</p>
