Alvin Harrison to serve 180 days in jail, three years probation
Hollister resident and former Gilroy High School track coach Alvin Harrison pleaded guilty to felony DUI charges Tuesday inside the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana.
The former Olympian was sentenced to 180 days in jail and three years probation after pleading guilty to two felony charges and one misdemeanor charge, including driving under the influence of alcohol with injury, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or more causing injury, and driving with a suspended license.
“We felt these charges were appropriate, given the conduct,” said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Harrison was terminated at GHS following an April 7 accident where he hit another vehicle from behind on state Highway 73, causing it to overturn and sending two people to the hospital while wrecking a rental van on a school athletic field trip, according to the California Highway Patrol.
No GHS students were in the van.
