Sally Struthers pleads not guilty in DUI case

Sally Struthers has entered a not guilty plea on charges she drove drunk in Maine, where she was performing in a musical.

The Portland Press Herald reports the 65-year-old Struthers did not appear in York District Court on Thursday, and entered the plea through her lawyer.

Police arrested Struthers on Sept. 12 on U.S. Route 1 in the resort town Ogunquit. She was charged with criminal operating under the influence.

Struthers has no criminal history in Maine, according to the paper, which notes that a first-time offender convicted of drunken driving faces a 90-day license suspension and a $400 fine.

Struthers is best known for her role as Gloria Stivic in the 1970s TV sitcom "All in the Family." She had been performing at the Ogunquit Playhouse in the musical "9 to 5."

She's scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 13 for a bench trial.
