A Richmond Hill woman who boasted on social media about driving while intoxicated, has just been sentenced to 18 months in jail for driving drunk again.
The Toronto Star is reporting that 27 year-old Darya Selinevich appeared remotely - due to the COVID-19 pandemic - in a Newmarket court today.
The Star says she pled guilty to the criminal charges of "impaired driving" and "driving while disqualified".
Initially, she was also facing additional driving offences and cocaine possession, but those counts have reportedly been dropped.
This is the third such conviction in five years for Selinevich.
She was convicted three years ago and received jail time for killing a cyclist as he rode his bike along Finch Avenue West in 2015. Selinevich had been drinking heavily before her BMW slammed into the victim. She fled the scene, leading police on a chase through a residential community, before she was arrested.

About a month before that deadly crash, she had been given a one-year driving ban for speeding with double the legal limit of alcohol in her blood.
Her seven-year sentence in the 2015 incident was reduced to 4 1/2 years for time served. However, in January 2018, she was granted day parole after she promised authorities she would never drink alcohol again. Later, she was given full parole with conditions, which included no driving or drinking alcohol.
Her most recent arrested came in June, after she was pulled over for driving erratically on Highway 400, south of Barrie.
Police found 12 empty beer containers and two passengers in the car with her. Selinevich had been driving with twice the legal limit of alcohol in her system.
