LOS ANGELES -- Eve must wear an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet for 45 days
after pleading no contest Thursday to driving with a blood-alcohol level above
the legal limit.

The rapper-actress was not in Superior Court when her attorney entered the
plea to a single misdemeanor count. Under the plea agreement, a second count of
driving under the influence was dropped.

An e-mail to her publicist, Amanda Silverman, was not immediately
returned.

Eve, whose real name is Jihan Jeffers, was arrested early April 26 after her
gold Maserati struck a center median on Hollywood Boulevard.

Eve had faced a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
After her plea, she was sentenced to 36 months of probation and a $390 fine.
With fees and restitution for repairs to the median, her bill could top
$1,400.

Also, besides having to wear the monitoring device, she has to attend 10
Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a three-month alcohol education program for
first-time offenders.

She must appear personally in court on July 20 to show proof that she has
enrolled in the alcohol program and is hooked up to the monitor, said Frank
Mateljan, a spokesman for the city attorney's office.

If the monitor shows Eve had alcohol during the 45-day monitoring period,
that period will start over again. If she tests positive a second time, she will
serve 10 days in county jail, Mateljan said.
