Actress Sally Struthers will appear in court on 23rd September, having been charged with driving under the influence after being routinely stopped by police in the southern Maine town of Ogunquit in 2012. She was pulled over and found to be driving over the legal limit of blood alcohol which resulted in a DUI charge.

The 65-year-old actress was charged with criminal operating under the influence and posted $160 bail, according to The Daily Mail. If convicted, the performer will face a maximum of $500 fine as well as a 90 day licence suspension. She won't have to worry about being locked up in jail though - Maine state law does not impose jail terms for first time DUI offences.
