At the time of her DWI arrest, Crews was 20. Since 1935, the legal drinking age in Arkansas has been 21. In March 1999, Crews pleaded no contest in Crittenden County District Court to the misdemeanor DWI charge. She was hit with a one-year suspended jail term, fined $1000, directed to pay court costs of $300, and ordered to attend alcohol safety school and an alcohol education class.
The Smoking Gun also reports the self-proclaimed "southern belle" as having been:
- Charged with a misdemeanor charge of possession of beer by a minor in April 1997
- Arrested for reckless driving and driving with a revoked or suspended license after leading an Arkansas state trooper on a high-speed chase in December 1998
- Had a warrant issued for her arrest after she bounced a check for $6.77 in February 1999
