Toll Of Misconduct

The Indiana Supreme Court has ordered a 90-day suspension with 60 days stayed for conduct unrelated to the practice of law.

On September 18, 2017, Respondent was observed driving recklessly on the Indiana Toll Road. A police officer later found Respondent asleep behind the wheel at a service plaza along the Toll Road. After Respondent refused to perform any field sobriety tests or to submit to a chemical breath test, she was taken to a nearby hospital for a blood draw pursuant to a warrant. Upon arriving at the hospital, Respondent struggled with the officer and twice spat upon him. Respondent was charged with Battery by Bodily Waste, a level 6 felony, and later pled guilty to Battery Resulting in Bodily Injury, a class A misdemeanor. Respondent has a prior conviction for reckless driving, pled down from an original charge of operating while intoxicated. Respondent failed to report that conviction to the Commission.
