HILLSBOROUGH -- Orange County school board member Ted Triebel won't serve any jail time after being convicted of driving while impaired after his single-car crash a year ago.
Traveling north on Guess Road in northern Orange County last November, Triebel ran off the right side of the road, hit a mailbox, flipped his car and hit a tree, according to court testimony this week. Blood tests found his blood-alcohol content at the legal limit of 0.08.
District Court Judge Joe Buckner sentenced Triebel to a year of unsupervised probation and 24 hours of community service. He also cannot drive after consuming any alcohol, even if his blood alcohol content is below the legal limit.
