NORWICH – Rita Warner, Front Street, Binghamton, who was arrested on driving while intoxicated charges in February of 2006, stood before the county’s judge Monday to proceed with the execution of a sentence that was handed down in 2007.
Since that time, Warner’s case has proceeded through the court system with a jury trial resulting in a guilty verdict. Following her conviction, she faced a sentence of 30 days incarceration and five years probation. Warner appealed, but was denied.
At Monday’s court appearance, following a gathering of evidence in the case, Warner’s 30-day incarceration was waived, but she was order to begin her five-year probation period and pay more than $1,200 in fines and surcharges. She was also ordered to submit a DNA sample within 30 days.
