Arizona jail time for Diana Ross
Diana Ross has been ordered to return to Tucson to serve a two-day jail sentence in her drunken-driving case.
The 59-year-old singer, who pleaded no contest to driving under the influence last month, had arranged to serve her time in Greenwich, Conn., where she lives. But during her stay, she left and returned several times, said Tucson City Court Magistrate T. Jay Cranshaw.
Arizona law requires DUI defendants to spend at least 24 consecutive hours in custody. Cranshaw said in a written order that the jail arrangement in Greenwich “clearly does not comply with Arizona law.”
A hearing is set for April 1 to schedule her new jail stay.
