Woman receives five years for 10th DUI conviction
District Judge Robert Whelan praised 64 year old Anne Palmersheim for recovery while imposing a five year DOC sentence for a 10th DUI with another pending in Texas. Prosecutors cited a Sept 6 2020 crash in Butte that damaged a home and garage before she disappeared and was later arrested in Texas. Palmersheim and her attorney cited substantial treatment efforts and current sobriety, asking for a suspended sentence. Palmersheim vowed to remain sober, saying she does not want to drink again.
