Court Report

The following cases were heard in Summit County’s Third District Court last week:

Jenny Dudleston, 53, from Summit County, pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony for driving under the influence. According to Summit County Attorney David Brickey, Dudleston was arrested on October 31, 2011, for speeding and had a blood alcohol level of .18, .1 above the legal limit.

"This is Mrs. Dudleston’s third DUI arrest in less than 10 years," Brickey said. "Because of her prior arrests in 2001 and 2002 we charged her with a third degree Felony but dismissed a few misdemeanors we had charged her with."

Dudleston will be sentenced on October 5.

Iris Beaman, 25, pleaded guilty to child endangerment and was sentenced to 24 months of bench probation by Judge Todd Shaugnessy. Beaman was arrested last year for exposing her three-year-old daughter to marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Brickey said that when deputies conducted a blood test, traces of marijuana were found in the child’s system.

Beaman was sentenced to six months in jail but was given credit for time served and released on federal probation.
