Dawn Wells surely did excel at being a seriously hot walking sex bomb and the sweetest cutest girl next door type you could ever hope for all at the same time.
Jeannie or Marcia Brady?

I do believe I detect a little *.
Compare that to today's crop of of young sexpot pop stars getting wasted on booze, drugged on who knows what, pulled over stinking of sex and drunkenness and more than a little exposed. Let us not forget belligerent about it.
The lady has class, in addition to all else, she's got class.
She got caught with pot in the car, didn't she?
A passenger came forward and owned up to having the pot and leaving it in the car. There was never any evidence of Well's using any drug.

Statement of Facts from Dawn
The media statements concerning the Driggs Idaho charge against Dawn Wells are extremely inaccurate and erroneous. A third party had possession of Dawn's car during the entire day, and placed a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle without her knowledge .Dawn attended her surprise birthday party that evening, with a number of individuals each of whom verified Dawn had only two drinks in a three to four hour period. Dawn left the party to drive home and was stopped by an inexperienced officer only because she weaved while reaching for her heater controls in an unfamiliar new car.
There was no plea bargain with regard to the marijuana. The state dismissed the marijuana charge as a result of a third party appearing before the court independently and accepted full and exclusive responsibility for the existence of the marijuana.
The DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving because of insufficient proof of excessive alcohol consumption. The officer acknowledged in his written report that there was no odor of alcohol, no slurred speech or any indication of impaired memory. Unfortunately the inexperienced officer failed to properly administer any appropriate field tests which would have established Dawns sobriety. This officer was subsequently placed and remains on suspension from all law enforcement duties.
Dawn Wells accepted responsibility for her driving neglect by pleading guilty to reckless driving because she felt she was in fact guilty of not devoting appropriate attention to her driving while searching for the heater controls.
Contrary to news coverage, Dawn was not required to serve any jail term for her driving offense. She received the typical Idaho sentence for her driving offense given to all who commit the offense, i.e. a fine and informal probation. The sentencing Judge often requires jail time, but found that unnecessary under Dawn's circumstances. Informal probation simply requires she pay the fine and commit no other offenses.
Due to Dawn's cooperation, integrity and complete lack of criminal record, this charge will not appear on her driving record. The court granted her the courtesy of a "withheld judgment".
This is a very humiliating and embarrassing event for Ms. Wells. She wishes to apologize to her friends and supporters for any embarrassment or disappointment this occurrence may have caused.
