Tonya Harding admitted driving drunk in Vancouver Washington as part of a deal that could drop the charges if she stays out of trouble for five years. She must complete outpatient alcohol counseling for two years and participate in ongoing counseling while her attorney says she has a problem she will address. Harding, 31, crashed her 1977 Dodge pickup in the early hours after allegedly losing power steering. No one was hurt. Her blood alcohol was 0.16 twice the legal limit.
