The driver's license of a Fayette County lawyer has been suspended for one year because of a drunken-driving conviction, but he will not serve a prison sentence.
Brent E. Peck, 39, of Uniontown, also is responsible for paying $550 in restitution to the owner of a Dunbar Township junkyard located near the site of a four-vehicle crash in which Peck was involved in May 2003.
On Monday, Judge Gerald Solomon sentenced Peck to a prison term of 48 hours to 23 months but granted him immediate parole because of a three-week stint he did in 2004 at a Connecticut residential inpatient treatment facility
Peck pleaded guilty in May to a charge of driving under the influence. Last year, he was removed from the county's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program after county probation officials alleged that he had tested positive for cocaine use.
Peck apologized to the Fayette County court system yesterday and told Solomon he has been sober for 15 months.
