BUSH DAUGHTERS ENTER PLEAS IN ALCOHOL CASES

Jenna Pleads Innocent To Charge Of Using False ID

Austin Texas - President Bush's 19-year-old daughter Barbara pleaded no
contest to underage possession of alcohol in Texas and was placed on probation.

Her twin sister, Jenna, pleaded innocent to trying to buy a margarita with
someone else's ID.

The sisters were cited by police after their visit May 29 to a Mexican
restaurant in Austin.

Barbara did not appear Thursday at an Austin municipal court. Her lawyer,
Gerry Morris, entered the plea for her. Jenna pleaded innocent according to
a court letter dated Wednesday.

Just two weeks before the incident, Jenna Bush pleaded no contest tot
underage drinking charges. She was ordered to take alcohol counseling and
perform community service.

According to a police report obtained by the Austin American-Statesman,
Jenna Bush started crying when an officer stopped the twins as they left
the restaurant on May 29.

"She then stated that I do not have any idea what it is like to be a
college student and not be able to do anything that other students get to
do," Officer Clifford Rogers wrote in his report.

According to the report, the bartender spotted Jenna Bush walking into the
restaurant and the staff later called 911.

Barbara Bush and two friends were served margaritas and tequila shots,
according to the police report.

By the time the first officer arrived at 10:34 p.m. "the tequila shots were
all gone and each of the three margaritas were at least partially
consumed," a restaurant employee told police.

The Police Department refused to release the report because the
investigation is ongoing, said spokeswoman Toni Chovanetz. A request by The
Associated Press for the documents made last week under Freedom of
Information laws has been forwarded to the Texas Attorney General, she said.

Barbara was sentenced to probation and eight hours of community service and
must attend an alcohol awareness class. She was also ordered to pay $100
in court fees. The probation, technically called "deferred disposition,"
runs through Sept. 7.

Her attorney, Gerry Morris, did not immediately return phone calls from The
Associated Press.

A letter dated June 6 from the court to Jenna Bush's attorney Bill Allison
set a hearing date of July 31. It indicates that Jenna pleaded innocent to
the charge.
