After her arrest for allegedly being under the influence, “General Hospital” star Haley Pullos has entered a not guilty plea, with a hearing set for some time in July, according to TMZ. The actress is facing several charges, including operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08, as well as fleeing from the scene when she hit the first vehicle, and a DUI that resulted in causing physical trauma to the driver she hit. The latter two are felony charges. The DUI charge she received, in the state of California, can result in a $5,000 fine as well as a maximum of four years in jail. The penalty for a BAC offense that is under .20 may require the accused to enter into a substance abuse program for three months or even longer in California.
She could also potentially receive a $1,000 fine along with a six-month stay in jail for the hit-and-run charge. Pullos is definitely in a grave situation and, after her freeway crash, the Pasadena fire department posted pictures of the calamity online to encourage drivers not to be intoxicated on any level while operating a motor vehicle. Hopefully, Pullos’ mistake will inspire her fans to be responsible when drinking.
