Nun who drove into building convicted
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A Philadelphia nun and schoolteacher was convicted Wednesday of drunken driving charges despite her assertion that she had taken a sedative and doesn’t remember crashing her car into a New Jersey building.
Municipal Court Judge Martin Whitcraft suspended Sister Kimberly Miller’s license for 90 days and fined her $257 plus fees.
Miller, 41, is a librarian and theology teacher at Little Flower Catholic School in Philadelphia. She was arrested in November 2015 after she drove her car into an auto repair shop.
Miller testified that she had a glass of wine and an Ambien before bed but woke up in handcuffs and didn’t remember anything. She also said she sleepwalks.
