Reports indicate that if she pleads guilty, she is more likely to receive a lighter sentence and possibly avoid jail altogether.

Customarily, only one of these DUIs is prosecuted and if found guilty the actress could be sentenced to a 3-year jail term plus a $5,000 fine.
Pullos debuted as Molly Lansing-Davis on the ABC soap opera at the age of 11. The show let her go a month after her DUI.

According to Daily Mail the Deputy District Attorney Melany Avanessians told the court that if a plea deal is not in place by the April court date, Pullos’s case would go to trial and the judge then scheduled what “should be the final hearing” for April 8.

Wilder accuses Pullos of attacking first responders in a fit of “rage.” She claims that “Haley Pullos acted maliciously and without any regard for the safety of others, as evidenced by her rage when she was pulled from her vehicle by first responders … and yelling profanities in front of witnesses and directed toward those who were trying to help her.”
Wilder alleges that Pullos had to be sedated at the scene after assaulting a firefighter and screaming at him “to take his hands off her $400 f—ing shirt.”
