Ex-BMW Workers Dodge Jail Time For Glendale Joyride

GLENDALE (CBS) — Two former employees of a BMW dealership in Glendale will not face jail time for a high-speed joyride last year.

Vacheh Margoussian, 21, and Artin Yazidjian, 22, were ordered on Thursday to attend traffic school and each pay a $150 fine

The pair was charged last November for racing a newly-delivered 1 Series M coupe on the streets of Glendale and videotaping their exploits back in August of 2011.

A complaint from the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said Margoussian was the driver while Yazidjian videotaped the joyride down East Windsor Road.

Both men pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges.
