4/3/14 - A plea has been entered by an Ingham County woman who was charged after crashing her jeep into the home of a local deputy fire chief. 41-year-old Heather Ann Belen of Webberville pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and operating a vehicle with no insurance. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed a count that she was driving on a suspended license. Police say Belen was northbound on Veterans Drive the evening of January 12th when her vehicle left the roadway, crossed over Grand River and then a curb, before crashing into the front porch of Deputy Fowlerville Fire Chief Robert Feigâs home. Feig administered first aid to Belen until EMS arrived. She sustained minor facial injuries and was treated from a hospital before being taken into custody. Belen faces up to a year in the county jail when she is sentenced May 7th. (JK)
