Charlene Lugar, wife of Senator Richard G Lugar (R-Ind.) was charged with DWI and hit-and-run about 6 months ago.
Lugar was arrested in McLean after an officer stopped her, citing visible damage to her car and smoke coming from the hood. Police later determined she also hit an empty parked car about two miles from where she was stopped.
Three hours after being stopped, Lugar's BAC measured.11.
Lugar plead guilty to DWI (the misdemeanor hit-and-run was dropped in a plea agreement). She will pay a standard $500 fine, lose her license for a year and complete an alcohol counseling program. Lugar also received a 30-day jail sentence, suspended pending completion of the above.
