Mr. BONNER, from the Committee on Ethics, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

In accordance with rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on Ethics 

(Committee), the Committee hereby submits the following Report 

to the House of Representatives: 

I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 

On November 15, 2012, the Committee convened for the purpose 

of considering the charge issued against Joy Henrichs on August 

16, 2012, for driving under the influence. On September 21, 2012, 

Ms. Henrichs entered a plea of guilty to driving under the influence, a misdemeanor, in Fairfax County General District Court and 

was sentenced to 30 days in jail with 25 days suspended, and was 

placed on supervised probation for one year. Ms. Henrichs’ driver’s 

license was suspended for one year, and Ms. Henrichs was ordered 

to pay a $500 fine with $250 suspended and to complete an alcohol 

treatment program. Ms. Henrichs has paid the fine and is complying with the terms of her sentence. 

The Committee voted against empanelling an investigative subcommittee regarding this matter. The Committee considered the 

scope and nature of Ms. Henrichs’ conduct and the fine and disposition ordered by the Fairfax County General District Court. The 

Committee has determined that review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this matter. Unless additional information is brought to the Committee’s attention which warrants further action, the Committee will consider this matter closed.
