http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/04/elana-ford.jpgBloomberg reports that Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford/) Global Marketing Director Elena Ford (great-great-granddaughter of Henry Ford) has plead guilty to Driving Under the Influence of alcohol, saying the incident has been a "complete embarrassment" to her family. The Ford family heiress was arrested on April 4 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/05/report-elena-ford-arrested-for-drunk-driving-child-endangermen/) after failing a sobriety test and registering a .14 on a breathalyzer; nearly twice the legal limit of .08 in Michigan. Police pulled Ford over after she reportedly jumped the median in in her 2011 Ford Explorer (http://autoblog.com/model/ford/). The Michigan court sentenced the 44-year-old Ford to two years' probation, 240 hours of community service and mandatory counseling. Ford was originally also charged with child endangerment since she had her 11-year-old son in the car.
