Backers start petition for nun in DUI case

Supporters of a nun charged with driving under the influence have launched an online petition urging the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to save her teaching job at Little Flower High School in Hunting Park. The petition, created Thursday, had 2,105 signatures through 6 p.m. Saturday.

The archdiocese placed Sister Kimberly Miller on administrative leave last week after images surfaced that appeared to show her failing a field sobriety test.

She is accused of backing a pickup into the front door of a Meineke Auto Shop in Turnersville around 3 a.m. Nov. 7. After police stopped the truck a short distance away, a passerby recorded video of an officer leading her through the sobriety test.
