Asst. principal pleads not guilty to DUI
A Lawrence High School assistant principal on Monday entered a formal not-guilty plea to a DUI charge.
Jan Gentry, arrested May 20 on U.S. Highway 56 in western Douglas County, also is charged with a lane violation. She waived formal reading of the charges during a brief appearance in District Court.
Judge Pro Tem Peggy Kittel assigned her case to Judge Paula Martin’s court and scheduled her next hearing for June 29.
A deputy’s failure to sign a form sent to the state Division of Motor Vehicles means Gentry’s license will not be suspended for 30 days pending the outcome of her court case. But it still could be suspended if she is convicted of DUI.
