Fox pleads not guilty to drink-driving charges

Actress Vivica A. Fox has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanour charges of drink driving.

The Kill Bill star's plea was entered by her lawyer Richard Hutton during a hearing in Van Nuys, California on Thursday.

The 43-year-old was apprehended in March after she was allegedly caught driving under the influence of alcohol on a Los Angeles freeway.

Police officer Leland Tang told Thursday's hearing he spotted Fox's car travelling at around 80 miles (128 kilometres) per hour in a 65 mile (105

kilometres) per hour zone.

He said: "Fox exhibited signs of alcohol intoxication. A field sobriety test was administered and she scored over (California's legal limit) 0.08."

A trial date has been set for October 29. If convicted, Fox faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 (€705) fine.
