YORK, Pa. (WHTM) -
Georgina Zogby, the wife of Pennsylvania Budget Secretary Charles Zogby, has pleaded guilty to drunk driving charges in York County.
Zogby, 48, pleaded guilty Friday to a charge of DUI and a summary offense of DUI with a suspended license. Sentencing was scheduled for July 2.
Police have said Zogby had a blood-alcohol content of .117 when she crashed and overturned a car last
September near her Fairview Township home.
In July, police in Cumberland County charged her with DUI, fleeing and
eluding, and several traffic offenses after she initially refused to
stop for an officer near Mechanicsburg.
Her trial on those charges was scheduled to begin Monday.
The incident sparked controversy among critics of Gov. Tom
Corbett after an on-duty state trooper assigned to the governor's
security detail left his post at the Executive Mansion to drive Zogby
home from the Cumberland County Prison.
Zogby last week pleaded guilty to two counts of retail theft in Cumberland County; one for shoplifting at the TJ Maxx store in Hampden Township in January 2010 and another for stealing groceries from the Wegmans in Silver Spring Township in May of last year.
A sentencing hearing in that case was scheduled for next month.
