during the winter of 1998; the spot featured all three performing at an ice rink. (Heat from the soup melts the ice, which leaves all three young women standing in ankle-deep water.) She also appeared in a commercial of Panasonic's 1998 Winter Olympics campaign in Japan. Film In 2006, Bobek added acting to her resume: she appeared in the film All the King's Men, starring Sean Penn and adapted by Steven Zaillian from Robert Penn Warren's same-titled novel. Bobek was typecast as a skater who fascinates Governor Willy Stark, in a scene directly from the book. Legal problems In November 1994, Bobek was charged with first degree home invasion after she used an access code to enter a friend's garage and home in Michigan. She allegedly took cash from a purse, but was caught when the home owner arrived, at which point she returned the money. She claimed that she was given permission by another member of the household to enter the house and retrieve the cash. At that time, Bobek was 17 years old and legally an adult under Michigan criminal law, but she was eligible for probation with a record of the offense sealed from the public record under a special law for youthful first offenders. She pleaded guilty under that law, the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, and in January 1995 was given two years' probation and a choice between 50 hours of community service and 30 days in jail. Information regarding her case soon spread widely through skating circles and was leaked to the news media. Under the Youthful Trainee Act, cases are to remain confidential; so in February 1995, she filed for dismissal of her case. Though journalists and legal scholars have argued that Michigan law allows journalists to release information about juvenile criminals if there is "compelling public interest," which was arguable due to her status as a world class figure skater, Bobek's motion for probation discharge was granted by the court. On appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the trial court to terminate probation and remanded for a continuation of probation and HYTA. In late 2006, Nicole Bobek's mother made and dropped a petition to have her sent to rehab, worrying her daughter would break off contact. On July 6, 2009, Bobek was charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and was alleged to be a member of a drug ring. On
