Drunk Driving in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Montgomery County prosecutors are asking a judge to revoke bail for a 23-year-old Newtown Square woman who is awaiting trial on charges she killed a woman on the blue route last year while she was driving drunk.

Prosecutors say Roisin O’Neill was on house arrest when a car she was riding in got stopped at a DUI checkpoint at 1:30 in the morning late last month. Several kids in the car were cited by police for underage drinking.

First Assistant DA Kevin Steele now wants the judge to send the Delaware County woman to jail.:

“She’s violated a trust that’s been placed in her and whatever factors you can look at to make that decision.”

But defense attorney Vince DiFabio says any interruption in therapy she’s receiving for a serious ankle injury would be a detriment to her recovery.

The judge suggested a compromise – jail on the weekends and extensive monitoring during the week.

Prosecutors say O’Neill was driving the wrong way when she struck and killed a Massachusetts women driving drunk.
