HOLLYWOOD - Former Growing Pains star Tracey Gold Marshall has been placed on three years'probation after pleading guilty to a second felony drink-driving charge.
The 35-year-old actress pleaded guilty in January to felony
drunken driving, following a rollover crash that injured her husband and two of
their three children.
On March 21, a Superior Court judge decided to reduce the charge to a
misdemeanor, but Deputy District Attorney Jeff Gorrell objected and said an
earlier plea bargain was off and he wouldn't drop the child-endangerment
charges against Marshall.
To avoid those charges, she pleaded guilty to the second felony drink-driving
charge.
Judge Bruce Clark then placed Marshall on three years' probation, ordered her
to complete 30 days of work release supervised by the jail and 240 hours of
community service.
Marshall was behind the wheel of a sports utility vehicle on Sept. 3, 2004,
when it went off a highway in Moorpark, California, and rolled down an
embankment.
Marshall and her four-month-old son weren't hurt, but her husband, Roby
Marshall, and the couple's five and seven-year-old sons were injured.
