A Shelby County assistant district attorney will serve two days in jail after pleading guilty to driving under the influence, the Commercial Appeal reports. Monica Timmerman was charged with a DUI in December after hitting a utility pole near Overton Park. She’ll serve two days in jail, followed by 11 months and 27 days of supervised probation. Timmerman will also be required to pay a $4,777 restitution to Memphis Light, Gas & Water, which must be paid by Aug. 8. The District Attorney’s Office issued a statement after the arrest saying Timmerman was still employed with the office and an independent prosecutor was being appointed to the case. Timmerman was a defense attorney prior to being sworn in as an ADA last November.
