Drunk Driver Gets $1,500 Fine, Probation
A Glendale woman convicted of driving with a blood-alcohol level more than five times the legal definition of drunk was put on probation last week and fined about $1,500.
Glendale Municipal Judge Barbara Lee Burke on Friday ordered Cathylynne Johnson to serve three years probation, pay fines and restitution and attend an Alcoholics Anonymous program.
Johnson, 28, pleaded no contest last Wednesday to two misdemeanor charges of driving with a blood-alcohol level higher than 0.08%--the state’s legal definition of drunk--and fleeing the scene of an accident.
She was arrested March 27 after she ran into another car on Verdugo Road near Towne Avenue and then left the scene.
