CLEAR LAKE – Booze is a powerful drug.
A Clear Lake woman recently convicted of a drunk driving offense has violated terms of her probation with a guilty plea to public intoxication.
Audrey Jean Haag, age 44, pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated on January 15, 2014. She had been stopped by Clear Lake police on November 21, 2013 and arrested.
Haag received only 3 days in jail as part of her plea, with 27 days suspended. She was also ordered to pay $1,972.25 in court costs and fines. However, she has only paid $50.00 towards that balance so far.
On March 12, Clear Lake police again arrested Haag, this time for public intoxication. She pleaded guilty immediately and was assessed $195.00 in court costs and fines, which she has paid none of at this time.
The Iowa Department of Corrections then filed a probation violation report on Haag, who could now face the remainder of her suspended jail sentence. She awaits an April 23, 2014 court date.
