Diana Ross serves drink-drive sentence

Singer Diana Ross has served her drink-drive jail sentence in upmarket Greenwich, Connecticut, where she lives, it was reported today.

“That obligation was fulfilled here,” Police Chief James Walters told the Greenwich Time. ”That’s about all I can add.”

Ross served her time at the Greenwich Police Department, the paper said, but details about when and for how long she stayed at the department were not available. It was not known specifically how she was housed.

The R&B diva was convicted on Monday of driving under the influence and ordered to spend two days in jail. She spoke to a Tucson, Arizona, court hearing by phone from New York, pleading no contest to the charge. Two related charges were dropped.

The former lead singer for the Supremes was arrested on December 30, 2002, after a driver called to report a car travelling south in the north-bound lanes outside Tucson.

Tests showed Ross had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20%. Arizona’s legal limit for drivers is 0.08.
