FOLEY, Mo., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- A Missouri woman's probation has been revoked three years after her baby died at birth of acute alcohol intoxication, authorities said.
Sherri Lohnstein, 36, of Foley had been on probation for involuntary manslaughter in the September 2006 death of her newborn daughter, Lincoln County Circuit Judge Nancy Schneider said.
Schneider revoked the probation Monday and ordered Lohnstein to serve seven years in prison for illegally trying to obtain prescription drugs, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday.
"Apparently, Ms. Lohnstein has not been clean and sober since being placed on probation," Schneider said.
Lohnstein was drunk in 2006 when doctors performed an emergency Caesarean section to deliver her daughter, who had a blood-alcohol content of 0.17 percent when she died. Under Missouri law, drivers are presumed drunk when they have a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent.
In 2007, Lohnstein pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was placed on probation on condition she stay away from drugs and alcohol.
