LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
The actress who played Mary Ann on television's "Gilligan's Island" pleads guilty.
Actress Dawn Wells was sentenced on February 29, to five days in an Idaho jail, after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving. She was also fined $410.50 and put on probation.
A Teton County sheriff stopped Wells on October 18, 2007, during a routine traffic stop. She was eventually charged with misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance, the Associated Press reported.
As part of an agreement with prosecutors, the three initial charges stemming from the traffic stop were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to one count of reckless driving.
Dawn Wells is best know for playing the girl-next door character, Mary Ann, on the popular 1960's television show "Gilligan's Island." She later made appearances on hit shows like, "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," and "Baywatch."
