Emma Kenny is an American woman who was arrested and charged with DUI after driving a BMW SUV off the road in Pennsylvania. According to police, the suspect failed a field sobriety test, failed to signal while driving, and caused a wreck when crossing a busy highway. She was arraigned on first-degree charges, which mean that the suspect is charged as a direct result of someone else’s negligence. According to court records, the suspect failed to get the proper insurance to cover her vehicle, had no valid license to operate a vehicle, and did not maintain a clean driving record prior to driving the car. Due to these violations, the judge sentenced her to community service and heavy fines.
On September 14, Emma Kenny posted on her personal blog the following message: “I’ve been given the chance to be Rose’s good friend, and I couldn’t let this chance go by without doing something for her. She has a long history of fighting for causes close to her heart. When you care about someone, you want to do what you can to help them. That’s how I feel about my mother. She always had the best intentions for me, always willing to help people, and she deserved more than just a slap on the wrist.”
