Who knew that Mary Ann of Gilligan’s Island fame was not able to drive without endangering people. Dawn Wells is now serving probation after being caught with marijuana in her car.
She served a short sentence and paid a small fine. Reckless driving was the official charge.
Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts were dropped.
Dawn was no dope and hired an attorney to argue on her behalf. This action saved her significant time in jail and probably a significant amount of money.
Wells, 69,… can you believe it! was drunk while driving. She currently runs The Idaho Film and Television Institute which holds Spud Fest annually for family viewing.
Her attorney claims she had very little to drink and that she accidently left the marijuana in the car. She said that the car was swerving because she was unfamiliar with the heater and was trying to get it working in her newly bought car. Witnesses say that she did not appear to be in her cups as she left the party.
