Jennifer Bradshaw

GUILDERLAND — Jennifer Bradshaw, 30, of Schenectady, pleaded guilty on Tuesday morning to one count of driving while intoxicated per se and one count of driving while intoxicated, both felonies, and to one count of reckless driving, a misdemeanor.

On Nov. 26, 2015, at about 12:50 a.m., Bradshaw was stopped by the New York State Police for unsafely backing out of an EZ-Pass lane on Interstate 90 in Guilderland, according to a release from the Albany County district Attorney’s Office; Bradshaw failed field sobriety tests and registered 0.17 percent blood alcohol content.

She had been convicted of DWI within the past 10 years.

Bradshaw pleaded before Judge Peter A. Lynch in Albany County Court.

She will be sentenced on June 28. Bradshaw faces one-and-a-third to four years in state prison, the installation of an Ignition Interlock Device, and a minimum of one year of license revocation subject to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Vehicular Crimes Unit Bureau Chief Mary Tanner-Richter prosecuted this case.
