John Schneider was desperate to get on “Dancing With the Stars” — joining the show’s 27th season after doing jail time for not paying spousal support! But don’t expect to see John’s old “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star Tom Wopat making similar moves. As earlier covered by The National ENQUIRER, John blamed his financial woes on Wopat wrecking a TV comeback after Tom pleaded guilty to groping gals during a theatrical production! Shortly after Tom made headlines getting hit with charges of drug possession and indecent assault, TheBlast.com revealed that John had gone to court over owing alimony, claiming that Tom’s arrest cost him big bucks over a canceled “Dukes” reunion! The court papers showed that John owed his ex Elvira a monthly $18,911, with John saying he’s “willing, but unable” to pay the amount after Tom got busted!

The papers included a claim that Tom's arrest had put an end to a planned personal appearance tour. And in a bigger blow to both of the actors' finances, John said that Tom's troubles had put an end to a planned "Dukes of Hazzard" TV-movie being developed by the wholesome Hallmark Channel.

John didn't transfer property to his ex as ordered by a judge, so he was ordered into a Los Angeles County jail. Fortunately, the city's overcrowded penal system meant that John barely spent five hours behind bars. He still had to commit to completing 240 hours of community service, though, which could still be cutting into his "Dancing" time!
