At the time of her appointment in January 2007, Doron already had [[:Category:Crime|criminal records]] in three US states; those being [[:Category:Virginia|Virginia]], [[:Category:Maryland|Maryland]], and [[:Category:Texas|Texas]], and furthermore, was also on parole for a [[:Category:Automotive|motoring]] offence of a 'hit and run' whilst driving under the influence of {{tag|alcohol}} (DUI).<ref name=TheRegister/>  ''The Register'' also revealed Doran's criminal record included convictions for theft, passing bad checks, petty {{w|larceny}}, additional DUIs, and causing {{tag|Law|unlawful}} wounding to her boyfriend by way of a gun shot to his chest.<ref name=TheRegister/>  When Doran left the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] in July 2007, it was discovered she had been recently arrested for a further DUI, and for a violation of her existing probation.<ref name=TheRegister/>
