A New Jersey councilwoman entered a guilty plea Tuesday to driving while intoxicated after her car struck a utility pole in Gloucester County earlier this year.

Paulsboro Councilwoman Jennifer A. Turner , 68, was driving on South Delaware Street near Broad Street in the borough on Feb. 9 when her vehicle struck the pole around 11:30 p.m., according to borough police.

Turner, who did not require medical attention, was issued citations for driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to breath testing and careless driving, police said.

The case was transferred to Monroe Township Municipal Court, where Turner entered a guilty plea to the DWI charge on Tuesday, a court official said. The other two tickets were dismissed.

Turner did not immediately respond to a request to comment.
