The Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer had argued that Beador deserved 30 days in jail for her actions, but the judge dismissed one count of hit and run resulting in property damage.

Security camera footage showed her car speeding through the residential streets before hitting the house.

She, according to TMZ, then parked her car in the middle of the street and got out with her dog.

When police arrived and took her into custody, they saw she was wounded. She had fractured her left wrist and suffered cuts and bruising to her left eye in the crash.

The police also seized Beador's car as part of their investigation into the damage to the home.

Reports said that she had a .24% BAC after the accident. She, however, has since paid for the property damage she caused.
