gettysburg drunk driver

York, PA - A Gettysburg woman has been sentenced to York County Prison, house arrest and probation for a drunken driving crash that injured a teenager in June 2010.
Then 15, Ramondo Garcia, who lived in the first block of Westminster Avenue in Penn Township at the time, told police he had stepped outside because a storm had knocked out the electricity in the neighborhood.
According to court documents, Ramondo was standing between two parked vehicles when Laura Howard struck the rear of one, pinning the boy's legs between the bumpers. Ramondo testified at Howard's preliminary hearing that one of his legs was broken and the other was dislocated at the knee.
According to Penn Township Police reports, Howard, 34, had a blood alcohol level of 0.217 percent, more than 21/2 times the legal limit for driving, and failed field sobriety tests.
Howard was sentenced on Wednesday to 30 days in county prison, six months house arrest and the balance of four years on probation for aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence. She also was fined $500 for driving under the influence and ordered to submit to a drug and alcohol evaluation.
