05/08/2006 - A Minneapolis police officer pleaded guilty Monday to fourth-degree alcohol concentration, a misdemeanor, after she and her boyfriend were arrested in Columbia Heights, Minn. last month.
Lindsay Anderson, 29, was originally charged with third-degree alcohol concentration for the April 25, her attorney said.
Anderson was sentenced to 90 days in jail. The judge gave her credit for two days already served and waived the other 88 days, provided she stays out of trouble. She will also pay a $300 fine and will have to perform 30 hours of community service.
The judge also ordered Anderson to serve on the Mothers Against Drunk Driving panel. She will also have to complete a chemical dependency program.
In court, Anderson apologized for her actions.
"I made a serious mistake in judgment and I apologize to the court and to the public," she said.
On April 25, Anderson and her boyfriend, Minneapolis police officer Steven Herron, were arrested in Columbia Heights. Anderson was arrested for DWI and Herron was arrested for obstruction of justice.
Anderson worked in the Third Precinct and will be able to keep her job as a Minneapolis police officer. She has been assigned to desk duty, pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
Herron, 35, has also been placed on desk duty, pending the outcome of an internal investigation and criminal proceedings. His next court date is scheduled for June 1.
