Teen admits to violating probation by drinking, missing appointments

A Mitchell woman admitted Tuesday to violating her probation by drinking alcohol and missing an appointment with her probation officer.

Danica Miller, 19, was sentenced Jan. 15 to jail time and three years on probation for assaulting a police officer at a sobriety checkpoint last October.

Miller admitted she failed a breathalyzer test for the state 24/7 Sobriety program on Jan. 22, and failed to show up for any tests since then. She also admitted to missing a Feb. 2 appointment with her probation officer. Both acts are violations of her probation.

Miller could have a suspended two-year prison sentence reimposed. Sentencing is set for March.
