Jane McGarry has broken her silence. From about five minutes ago on her Facebook page:
I pleaded no contest to a Class B misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. I apologize for my irresponsible behavior and am grateful that the police did their job and no one was hurt. Blood alcohol tests showed my blood alcohol level was .11, which is over the legal limit, and therefore I should not have been driving. I have paid a fine of $1,200, will be on probation for 18 months and will participate in at least 40 hours of community service. I am deeply sorry for making such a terrible mistake and pledge it will never happen again.
Now that the matter has been resolved, it will be interesting to see if NBC Channel 5 puts her back on the air.
UPDATE: McGarry resigned today after 30 years at NBC 5.
