Erika Jacho, 42, has denied being drunk on the night of Oct. 21, 2020, claiming she was suffering from a panic attack and that the alcohol smell detected by police was hand sanitizer, the news outlet says.
She is expected to pay a $1,000 fine and have her license suspended until she installs a breathalyzer device in her vehicle, according to the news outlet.
Jacho was re-elected to the Belleville Board of Education in November 2020 and will serve on the board until 2024, according to the school district's website.
