Logan woman pleads guilty to DUI
By Landon Bench
December 4, 2006 | LOGAN -- A 27-year-old North Logan
woman pleaded guilty to driving under the influence
of alcohol or drugs and driving on a denied license
Friday morning in First District Court.
Chantielle Larsen stood before Judge Gordon Low and
waived her rights to a preliminary hearing.
Evidence obtained by Officer C. Carter of the Logan
City Police Department showed several empty vanilla
extract bottles that appeared to have been consumed
by Larsen in the car. Larsen's blood alcohol content
was 0.2.
According to the prosecution, Larsen caused a five-car
crash at the intersection of 400 East and 400 North
on Nov. 10, causing only minor injuries to one motorist,
28-year-old Sharon Rowley. Larsen's car ended up on
a lawn after hitting a tree.
Larsen has had two prior DUIs -- one in June 2001,
and one on Oct. 8, 2002. She has a no-bail status out
of Weber County, Judge Low said, and denied bail for
Larsen in the First District Court as well.
Prosecutor Chad Hutchings asked that Larson remain
incarcerated, which Low granted. Sentencing is scheduled
for early January.
