Judge D. Scott Bowling sentenced the woman to 17 months in prison, a $2,500 fine and a six-month driver’s license suspension for the first count and 11 months in prison, a $1,250 fine and a six-month driver’s license suspension for the second count, to be served concurrently.

Bowling also said Copley could get a judicial release to the STAR Community Justice Center Program. Bowling also sentenced Copley to 200 hours community service after her release from STAR.
