A Shreveport woman who drove intoxicated almost 10 miles the wrong direction on Interstate 49, injuring several people and endangering her own child, pleaded guilty on several counts in Caddo District Court Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Georgette Riley, 27, pleaded guilty before District Judge Chris Victory, just before jury selection was to commence in her trial. Judge Victory sentenced Riley to serve the maximum sentences for the charges, cruelty to juveniles and two counts of first-degree negligent injuring. She was sentenced to 10 years hard labor on the cruelty to juveniles conviction and to 5 years hard labor on each first-degree vehicular negligent injuring charge, the vehicular negligent injuring charges to be served consecutive to each other but concurrent with the cruelty to juveniles conviction.

On November 6, 2022, Riley drove almost 10 miles southbound in the northbound lanes of I-49, at rates of over 100 mph before causing a multi-vehicle crash. Riley was on her Facebook page two hours before the crash drinking shots of port and tequila. She then got behind the wheel of her vehicle with her 3-year old child improperly restrained and drove nine miles in the wrong direction on I-49, causing a four-vehicle crash. Her child was found in the trunk of the vehicle after the crash, unconscious, while the drivers of two other vehicles also were seriously injured. Testing showed Riley’s blood alcohol content was .322, four times the legal limit.

Riley was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Courtney N. Ray. She was defended by Eric Johnson.

The case was docket No. 394053.
