GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota lawmaker charged with driving under the influence after an arrest in May has reached a plea deal.
Republican state Rep. Claire Cory of Grand Forks pleaded guilty to an amended charge of reckless driving on July 2. DUI and reckless driving are both misdemeanors.
Cory, 25, received a suspended sentence of 12 days in jail, but won’t be required to serve time if she pays a fine and gets a chemical dependency evaluation, KVRR-TV reported.
Cory, who is running for reelection, was pulled over around 1 a.m. on May 7. Police said a breath test showed her blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit.
