Anne Heche likely won't spend "any significant time" in jail after she crashed her car into a home in Los Angeles on Friday.
Heche, 53, will most likely be charged with hit-and-run along with reckless driving, a legal expert told Fox News Digital. Former U.S. Attorney Neama Rahmani explained the actress would only receive misdemeanor charges since she didn't cause any bodily injuries to anyone involved in the crashes.
The actress crashed her Mini Cooper twice on Friday, with the second crash igniting a fire that left a home destroyed in the Mar Vista neighborhood. Heche suffered burn injuries, but was "conscious and breathing" when paramedics removed her from the vehicle.
Heche could receive up to six months in jail for the hit-and-run charge alone, with up to 90 days for the reckless driving charge, Rahmani told Fox News Digital.
Attorney Arie Shamuilian of My Rights Law Group told Fox News Digital it's likely that Heche will spend time in jail for the crash.
"In this case, there's other video depicting her vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and crashing into the building," Shamuilian explained. "I anticipate there could potentially be custody time with this case, given the circumstantial evidence shows her level of recklessness was pretty high here."
If a toxicology report were to confirm Heche had been driving under the influence, she could be charged with a misdemeanor DUI. For that charge, Rahmani explained, the actress could be punished with up to six months in jail.

Will the people whose house she burned up spend time in jail?
Of course. The homeowners are responsible for not building their homes entirely of fireproof materials [/S].
Well,the experts would know.
They should, how dare they put their house in the way of Ellen’s former girlfriend.
They are homophobic for causing her distress.
“expert”. LOL
Whatcha talking bout Willis
Remind me again how many people she killed in that incident?
No one, my bad.
Now switch it out for a man.
Because she’s among the elite and the laws don’t apply to them.
Seriously? She was drunk and they have a recording of her Podcast she did before she drove in which she admitted to drinking and could be heard slurring her words.
Of course. The homeowners are responsible for not building their homes entirely of fireproof materials [/S].

Big Carbon Tax assessment coming up for them.
BTW Depending on whether she has any prior dui’s..in which case she should spend a minimum of 30 days in jail.
And maybe she should bye the home owners a new house plus a little extra?
Just like Jussie.
Yep....it could’ve been a lot worse. She could’ve “accidentally” killed someone, like Alec Baldwin.
Oh, that’s right...he’s still as free as a bird.
“Will the people whose house she burned up spend time in jail?”
They did after all put the house in the way of a celebrity.
I’m rethinking gun control, but applied to a specific demographic. Since celebrity a-holes can’t drive worth a 💩 think of how dangerous they’d be with firearms. How about background checks and stricter training requirements for drivers licenses?
Well, she has to survive first.
Throw her in jail and then lose the key. We will all be safer.
