Philadelphia Nun Found Guilty of Drunk Driving

A Philadelphia nun has been convicted of driving drunk in New Jersey after she backed her pick-up truck into a business and left the scene of the accident.

Kimberly Miller, 41, argued that she took an Ambien and drank a glass of wine, and she shouldn’t be found guilty because she didn’t even know she was behind the wheel, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The prosecution argued there is nothing about intent in the state’s drunken driving law, and described her condition as “pathological intoxication,” nj.com said.

After getting behind the wheel, she backed into the door of the Meineke Auto Shop in Turnersville before leaving and getting pulled over. The store’s manager was later notified by police that the person responsible for hitting the car was an intoxicated nun who was later arrested.

Her license was suspended for 90 days, and she must pay a fine. She remains on administrative leave from her teaching position.
