REALITY TV STAR PLEADS GUILTY TO DRINK DRIVING
U.S. reality TV star JESSICA SMITH has been fined $1,300 (£650) after pleading guilty to a drink driving charge.
The former castmember of MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County received three years probation at a hearing in California on Monday (02Jul07).
The 19-year-old was also ordered to perform 80 hours of community service.
Smith was arrested in March (07) under suspicion of felony driving under the influence of alcohol after crashing a Volkswagen Beetle into another car on the San Diego Freeway, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
The driver of the other car suffered minor injuries, as did a passenger in the car driven by Smith, the report said.
Although Smith was arrested for investigation of felony DUI, officials said the charge was lessened to a misdemeanour because the injuries were not serious.
