Former Seattle police detective pleads guilty to DUI
A former Seattle police detective whose blood alcohol reading set a state record has pleaded guilty to two counts of drunken driving.
Fifty-four-year-old Deana F. Jarrett of Woodinville apologized Thursday in King County District Court, asking for mercy and saying she has changed her behavior. She faces up to a year in jail on each count when she is sentenced June 13.
Jarrett was stopped in Redmond on April 10 and 11, 2007. The second time her blood alcohol level registered .47, a record for Washington state and nearly six times the .08 legal threshold.
Jarrett was a Seattle police officer from 1979 to 1998. She left shortly after her lawsuit claiming sexual harassment and defamation was dismissed. At the time of her arrest she was working for the Transportation Security Administration at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
