A felony criminal endangerment charge against a 49-year-old Kalispell woman who allegedly was drunk while driving with her granddaughter in the passenger seat was lowered to a misdemeanor in a plea deal earlier this year.
In accordance with the plea deal, Flathead County District Court Judge Robert Allison sentenced Tamara Guinard on June 4 to a one-year suspended sentence and a $600 fine for misdemeanor DUI No. 1 and a one-year suspended and consecutive sentence for misdemeanor criminal endangerment. He gave her no credit for time served.
