1/4/13 - An Oakland County woman charged after driving while intoxicated and flipping her SUV in Tyrone Township with her two young children inside has entered a plea in the case. 23-year-old Teddyjo Marie Fliam pleaded guilty as charged to operating under the influence causing serious injury, operating while intoxicated with occupants less than 16 and failure to maintain security for having no insurance. Sheâll be sentenced by Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hatty February 7th. The Sheriffâs Department says Fliam ran a stop sign on Center Road near Old US-23 on July 20th of last year, lost control of her vehicle and hit an embankment. Both Fliam and her 1-year-old daughter were thrown from the SUV while her 4-year-old son was secured with a seatbelt. All three were hospitalized in serious condition following the crash and police said a preliminary breath test revealed Fliamâs blood alcohol level was more than two times Michiganâs legal limit for driving.
