The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office has charged soap opera actress Jensen Buchanan with two felony counts of DUI. Prosecutors say Buchanan’s blood alcohol level was .34, more than four times the legal limit, when she crashed head-on into another vehicle.

On May 18, Buchanan was driving her Mercedes SUV on Highway 154 near Buellton. Buchanan crashed head-on into a car driven by Bradley Gale Osalas, causing him to suffer major injuries.

Prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against Buchanan on Tuesday. In addition to the two felony counts of DUI, Buchanan faces special allegations of having a blood blood alcohol level higher than .15 percent and causing great bodily injury to the victim.

Buchanan, a Los Angeles resident, is scheduled to appear in Santa Maria court for an arraignment hearing on June 22. Last year, Buchanan joined the cast of the soap opera The Young and the Restless.

Let’s reprise and think. She was just dropped from Y&R a month or two ago and supposedly has a new job with some fly-by-night, hasn’t-started-yet streaming online only program.


She was in Santa Barbara with a BAC of 0.34 driving EAST towards LA where she lives – at 6:20 AM – so this possibly was her ‘drive of shame’ after a night working the casting couch with some producer/director/agent in Santa Barbara.


But at her age and after the botched facial surgery, I can’t imagine she has much ‘pull’ on the casting couch circuit anymore. Who knows? Old, washed-up wannabe actresses will do anything to revive a dead ‘career’.

Don’t worry, be happy.

No it won’t.


People won’t just be getting so many DUIs, overdosing in emergency rooms, etc. The lazy and unmotivated already know a shady dealer. Marijuana may just help those that take a little Xanax with their wine then drive their kids to gym class. You don’t have to believe me though, we can just wait and see.


I am down for more jobs though. We can put some out of work oil field workers or nature lovers to good work.

I am very concerned about recreational marijuana too? Everybody pays for risk on your insurance premiums and this unaddressed consequence is something else to think first before you vote thence drive.

I’m amazed she could even get behind the wheel with a B.A.C. that high. That is in the range that you start to pass out. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Throw the book at her.

She no doubt has had plenty of practice.

She is just not so young and reckless.
