Donda West surgeon jailed in Calif. DUI case
VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) -- The plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother before she died has been sentenced to a year in jail for drunken driving.
Dr. Jan Adams pleaded no contest to misdemeanor drunken driving last year.
Authorities say his Jaguar was spotted early June 26 traveling the wrong way on Interstate 680 near Cordelia. Adams' blood alcohol level was .20 percent.
Solano County Court Commissioner Ray Wieser sentenced the 54-year-old surgeon, author and TV personality Monday. He'll get credit for eight days he previously was jailed.
Adams performed breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction on Donda West a day before she died in 2007. An autopsy blamed heart disease coupled with complications from the surgery.
