District Court Judge Raymond Funk also sentenced 37-year-old Karen Koch to three years of be on probation and six months of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports Koch pleaded guilty to one count of reckless endangerment in exchange for prosecutors dropping a charge of allowing an unauthorized person to drive. She has three previous convictions for drunken driving and did not speak at Wednesday's court hearing.
