A DC Superior Court judge accepted a defendant’s guilty plea for driving under the influence on July 6.
A Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer responded to a report of a vehicle collision on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE on March 3. Upon investigating the scene, the officer saw that Kelcy Sagsetter’s vehicle rear ended another vehicle.
The officer asked the defendant if she had consumed alcohol. She said she drank vodka with tonic water, according to court documents.
Documents also state that the defendant failed a series of sobriety tests.
Sagstetter entered into a deferred sentencing agreement with the prosecution.
As part of the agreement, she must complete a traffic alcohol program, community service hours, attend a victim impact panel and pay $100 fine. If she completes the requirements by her next court appearance, her guilty plea will be withdrawn and the case will be dismissed.
Sagsetter is scheduled to return to court on July 7, 2021.
