Shayne Lamas, daughter of Lorenzo Lamas and star of E!'s Leave it to Lamas, accepted a plea bargain for the charge of "wet reckless driving" in lieu of fighting her DUI arrest last month.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office spokesman, Frank Matejian, confirmed the report with E! News. Lamas accepted 3-years of probation as a result of the guilty plea. She will also have to complete an alcohol awareness court within a limited amount of time.
Lamas was pulled over in the Venice area of Los Angeles on November 15. She claims she had consumed only one drink, but her breath test put her over the legal limit. The 24-year-old told Usmagazine.com she was traumatized by the event. She admits never taking drinking and driving that seriously until she saw that what she calls "just one drink" can lead to an arrest.
In fact, though it would be uncommon for one drink to put an adult over the legal limit, it is not entirely unheard of. Depending on a host of factors, Lamas, a small woman, could have been over the limit after consuming a single alcoholic beverage.
Women notably process alcohol slower than men, leading to a higher average BAC per alcoholic beverage. Young people have also developed less tolerance for the drug in their blood stream. It is for these reasons drivers must be careful to exercise extreme caution, particularly in the coming months of vigilant police activity, to remain safe.
