Georgina ZogbyYORK, Pa. (WHTM) -
Georgina Zogby, the wife of Pennsylvania Budget Secretary Charles
Zogby, has been sentenced to house arrest for one of her two drunken driving arrests last year.
Zogby, 48, was sentenced in York County court Monday to 90 days of house arrest. She had pleaded guilty to charges resulting from the incident in April.
Authorities said Zogby had a blood-alcohol content of .117 when she crashed
and overturned a BMW last September near her Fairview Township home.
She was also driving under a suspended license as the result of a drunken driving arrest in Cumberland County on July 10, when police charged her with DUI, fleeing and
eluding, and several traffic offenses.
Police have said she was highly intoxicated when she refused to stop for an officer near Mechanicsburg, even after stop sticks were used to puncture her tires.
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.
She is scheduled for trial in that case next month.
In May, Zogby was sentenced to five years of probation and 60 hours of community service after she pleaded guilty to two counts of retail theft in Cumberland
County.
Prosecutors said she was caught shoplifting at the TJ Maxx store
in Hampden Township in January 2010 and stole groceries from the
Wegmans in Silver Spring Township in May of 2011.
