A woman from Norfork, who backed over two teens in 2018 has pleaded guilty to reduced charges. 58 year old Carol Boviall was sentenced to 4-years probation in Baxter County Court on Thursday. Boviall had allegedly tested positive for meth after the accident. Her attorney had filed a motion asking the court to not admit the results of her blood test because she had not given consent and no search warrant had been obtained for drawing the blood. Arkansas’ implied consent law says anyone operating a vehicle in the state is deemed to have consented to several forms of DWI testing. A warrant is required, however, to obtain a blood sample. Without having proof that Boviall had methamphetamine in her system on the day of the accident, the state did not have the aggravating circumstance needed to prove first-degree battery, so the charge was reduced to battery in the second degree.
