Wynonna Judd sentenced to community service



Country singer Wynonna Judd will lose her driver's license for one year and must perform 200 hours of community service after she pleaded guilty Tuesday to drunken driving.

Judd was charged last month after a Nashville, Tenn., police officer stopped her speeding Land Rover close to Music Row.

Police said Judd registered a blood alcohol level of 0.175 percent, more than twice the 0.08 percent legal definition of drunken driving in Tennessee.

General Sessions Judge John Brown gave Judd the choice of 48 hours in jail or the community service.

Judd chose community service, and when Brown asked her if she had any questions, she replied, "No sir, I'm done."

Brown said the community service option is available to any first-time drunken driving offender in Nashville.

Judd received an 11-month, 29-day suspended sentence, during which time she will be on probation. The singer, who began her career as half of the mother-daughter act the Judds, must pay almost $1,000 in court costs and fines.

After her arrest, the 39-year-old Judd said in a written statement that she had been celebrating her impending wedding and a friend's birthday "and clearly let my excitement get the best of me."

Judd has since married longtime bodyguard D.R. Roach.
