TUSCON, Ariz. (AP) — Singer Diana Ross has been ordered to spend two days in jail, after pleading no contest to a charge of driving under the influence.
Ross was arrested December 30th, 2002, in Tucson, Arizona, after police received a report of a car going the wrong way.
A breath test showed the singer had a blood-alcohol concentration of .20 per cent. That is nearly triple Arizona's legal threshold.
Ross wasn't in the courtroom today in Tucson, and entered the no-contest plea by phone. Two related charges were dropped.
A magistrate found Ross guilty of DUI and sentenced her to serve 48 hours in jail within the next month. Ross also was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation.
