'Melrose Place' actress Amy Locane headed back to prison for 2010 New Jersey crash
A former “Melrose Place” actress who has already served a prison sentence for a deadly 2010 drunk driving crash in Somerset County is headed back behind bars.
A state judge on Thursday agreed with prosecutors that Amy Locane's previous sentences were too lenient and gave the actress an eight-year sentence. Locane already served about 2 1/2 years of a three-year sentence and completed a parole term.
The crash in Montgomery Township killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman and severely injured Seeman’s husband, Fred. Authorities say that Locane’s blood alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit at the time of the crash.
Under state law, the sentence requires her to serve more than six years before being eligible for parole.
