DPP may appeal Jodhi Meares drunken crash sentence

Police have asked prosecutors to consider appealing the sentence handed to Jodhi Meares over her drink-driving crash in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

A local court fined Meares $1100 and banned her from driving for one year after she pleaded guilty to a drink driving charge.

But the offence carries a maximum penalty of 18 months' jail and a fine of $3300, News Corp reports.

The 43-year-old model-turned-designer blew three times the legal blood alcohol limit after rolling her Range Rover and damaging three parked cars in Bellevue Hill on June 2.

Meares reportedly was on her sixth driving suspension at the time but two further charges of driving while suspended were withdrawn.

"The NSW Police Force has made a request to the DPP [Director of Public Prosecutions] to review the sentence," a police spokesman said.
