Ross sentenced to two days for DUI
Diana Ross was convicted Monday of driving under the influence and ordered to spend two days in jail.
The 59-year-old singer, who telephoned into the Tucson court hearing from New York, pleaded no contest to DUI. Two related charges were dropped.
Tucson Magistrate T. Jay Cranshaw found Ross guilty of DUI and sentenced her to serve 48 hours in jail before March 9. She also was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation.
Tucson police arrested her Dec. 30, 2002, after a driver called to report a car southbound in the northbound lanes just outside the city’s northeast limits.
Breath test results showed Ross had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.20%. Arizona’s legal limit is 0.08%.
