Four DUIs in a

four-month span have put a Peachtree City woman

behind bars for two years.

Colleen Grace

Brewer was sentenced Friday in Fayette County

State Court to a total of 24 months in jail and

six years on probation, with more than $12,000 in

fines. She will also have an ignition interlock

on her car for eight years.

Brewer was stopped

four times in 1999 - July 31, Sept. 1, Oct.

8 and Nov. 21 - for driving under the

influence and other assorted traffic offenses.

Also in State Court

last week, Scott Johnson was found guilty of DUI

in a bench trial less than one week after a jury

in Brunswick convicted him of the same offense.

Evidence in the

first case was used here, according to solicitor

Steven Harris, and a Glynn County officer was

brought here to testify.

In an unrelated

case, Johnny Layhew pled guilty to simple battery

for beating his girlfriend, Harris said,

receiving a 12-month jail sentence just after

serving 90 days in Clayton County for the same

crime.

Layhew, who pled

March 7, will receive a mental health evaluation

as part of his sentence, Harris said.

In Fayette County

Superior Court last week, Kimberly Ann Phillips

pled guilty to two counts of forgery in the first

degree and two counts of theft by receiving

stolen property.

Judge Paschal

English sentenced her to four years to serve on

each forgery count, along with 12 months to serve

on each theft charge. All four sentences run

concurrently.

According to court

records, she forged two checks totalling $276 at

Belk in October, using a First Union account

under the name of Barbara M. Williams. The theft

charges stemmed from the fact that she had

Williams' wallet, Georgia driver's license and

blank checks in her name.

In an unrelated

case, Derrick Davis pled guilty Friday to a

felony count of theft by shoplifting and a

misdemeanor charge of obstruction of an officer.

Judge Ben Miller sentenced him to three years to

serve on the theft charge and a concurrent

12-month sentence for obstruction.

Davis took 19

cartons of cigarettes from Kroger in December,

and gave officers several false names and dates

of birth during their investigation, reports

stated.
