Atlanta City Councilwoman Cleta Winslow on Tuesday pleaded guilty in Fulton County State Court to a DUI charge from last year.

Winslow, who was charged May 7, was sentenced to probation, ordered to pay a $700 fine and must perform community service, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Last year, Winslow admitted that she had had a few drinks — "two dirty martinis" at a bar on Elliot Street — when an officer stopped her in southwest Atlanta around 11:15 p.m. May 7. He wrote that he saw a gray Honda Accord run a stop sign and a red light, and that it was weaving and traveling on the wrong side of the road, all signs of impairment, according to the report.

Following the stop, Winslow was booked into the Atlanta Pretrial Detention Center and later released on $3,355 bond, according to a jail spokeswoman.
