A Law School student who hijacked an idling ambulance in October pleaded no contest on Monday to misdemeanor auto theft and driving under the influence. She will serve 36 days in a Santa Clara County Jail.

According to court records, Julia Powell, 27, jumped in the ambulance while two paramedics were assisting an intoxicated student in a nearby residence hall. She proceeded to drive the ambulance for about one minute before evacuating the vehicle.

Although the vehicle was driven out of the sight of paramedics, Powell was identified as the likely culprit when authorities found her cell phone on the ambulance floor later that night.

According to The San Jose Mercury-News, Powell initially denied involvement in the crime, but later said her memory of the event was unclear. Powell’s attorney said that his client’s intoxication was exacerbated by potent painkillers she had taken earlier in the night.

Powell will begin her sentence on Aug. 24. She will most likely serve her time in a sheriff’s camp or a weekend work program.

It is unclear what academic consequences, if any, Powell will face for her actions. Larry Kramer, dean of the Law School, declined to comment on potential disciplinary actions, citing student privacy.
