Pa. couple both charged with DUI after car crash

[June 03, 2009]  NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. (AP) -- A western Pennsylvania husband and wife will enter a first-time offender program after both were charged with drunken driving in connection with the same car crash. Police charged 45-year-old Robert Kotoff Sr. and 42-year-old Tina Kotoff after their car hit a tree in Daugherty Township on April 5.

Police were told of the accident, and found the damaged car in a nearby mobile home park. Robert Kotoff claimed he was driving. But police say witnesses told them Tina Kotoff was driving when the car hit the tree, and that her husband only drove the car to the mobile home park afterward.

The Kotoffs agreed to enter the first-time offender program Monday. Both will lose their licenses for 60 days, but will have their records expunged if they complete the probation program.
