5/9/14 - A sentence has been handed down for the Ingham County woman who pleaded guilty to crashing her jeep into the home of a local deputy fire chief. 41-year-old Heather Ann Belen of Webberville pleaded guilty 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. This week she was sentenced to 30 days of community service and one year of probation. During that time she is ordered not to possess any alcohol, drugs, or marijuana, and not to enter any bars. She has also been ordered to attend substance abuse counseling and pay more than $5,000 in restitution. Police say Belen was northbound on Veterans Drive the evening of January 12th when her vehicle left the roadway on Grand River, crossed over a curb, and crashed 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 at a hospital before being taken into custody. (JK)
