A year ago, I noted that a new DUI record had been set for the state of Washington<\/a>. It took a while, but the story finally settled out.<\/p>\n

Recapping the story so far (links in the original article): The driver’s attorneys eventually succeeded in having her released from jail (where she had been held on $300,000 bail) to a treatment center. <\/p>\n

In April 2008, the driver pled guilty to driving while intoxicated<\/a> and in June 2008 was sentenced to one year in prison<\/a> for that offense, plus additional days for other offenses, totalling 440 days in jail; plus 90 days of electronic home monitoring, fines, attendance at alcohol-education classes, and other unspecified penalties. That last article also runs down the four separate traffic incidents the driver has been involved in: Driving on the shoulder past a line of stopped cars and becoming involved in a three-car collision, the incident which raised so much public attention.
