Cumberland County Judge Edward Guido this morning sentenced Georgina Zogby to three years of supervised probation for fleeing and eluding police during a July 2011 car chase that led to Zogby also being charged with DUI.

Zogby, the wife of state Budget Secretary Charles Zogby, also received six months of supervised probation for the DUI, however that is to run concurrent with the three years imposed on the fleeing and eluding charge. The judge also imposed $850 in fines.

Guido had found Zogby guilty of the fleeing and eluding and DUI charges, plus two summary traffic violations, following a one-day non-jury trial on September 28.

Zogby, whose husband was in the courtroom, told Guido she has been sober for more than a year. Zogby's lawyer William Fulton said Zogby has successfully completed four inpatient treatment programs.

Guido had been given numerous letters on Zogby's behalf from family and friends, in addition to one from her York County probation officer regarding how Zogby has cooperated with that court since being sentenced on another DUI that occurred in September 2011.

The letter said in part that Zogby attends daily meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and meets with her doctor weekly on her addiction challenges.

Zogby, 48, of Fairview Township, expressed "great remorse" for her actions, which she said "did not just impact me but so many others. I understand what I did was wrong."

The two DUIs in 2011 were among four criminal cases that Zogby was involved in during a downward spiral that also included two retail theft charges, for which Zogby was sentenced to 5 years of probation by Cumberland County Judge Tom Placey in May.

Guido said he decided to sentence Zogby on the low end of what is required by law "Because of the gargantuan efforts you have made to turn your life around and maintain your sobriety. Good luck in that sobriety, and don't come back."
