A judge sentenced Katherine Applegate to house arrest yesterday for her role in a 2006 vehicle-pedestrian accident.

According to the Daily Collegian, Applegate, 24, received a sentence of 20 days under house arrest, along with a $2,000 fine and a one-year suspension of her driver's license.

A non-jury trial convicted Applegate in March of a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence for hitting Penn State student Michael Drauch as he stumbled into the street in front of the Meridian apartment complex on East College Avenue.  

A felony charge of aggravated assault while driving under the influence was dropped at Applegate's preliminary hearing in December of 2006 after Drauch's intoxication was found to be 50 percent at fault for the accident.  (Read More)
