Rebecca L. Dahlke was sentenced Wednesday to five days in jail on her guilty plea to drunken driving with a child. She also was fined $1,000.

Dahlke, 36, of Blackstone Boulevard, Town of Tonawanda, remained free on $10,000 posted bail after Erie County Judge Michael F. Pietruszka ordered her to surrender Friday to begin her term in Erie County Correctional Facility.

A good Samaritan driver stopped Dahlke as she was driving erratically down Eggert Road near Niagara Falls Boulevard in the Town of Tonawanda with her 14-year-old daughter at about 2p.m. Jan. 30, according to prosecutor Bethany A. Solek.

Dahlke, convicted of a drunken driving-related offense about five years ago, registered a blood-alcohol reading of 0.25 percent, more than three times the legal limit, the prosecutor said.

The judge revoked her driving privileges for the next year, ordered her to successfully complete the Buffalo City Court’s DWI Court program, submit to drug and alcohol testing and treatment if ordered, and get a job.
