Koike, 34, pled no contest to two driving under the influence charges in Los Angeles, one in 2008 and another in 2011.
The site reported that Erika was 'sentenced to 5 days in jail, plus a very aggressive alcohol program' in addition to a device installed in her car.
She was reportedly put on probation and sentenced to community service in addition to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
The makeup artist was also required to attend an 18-month alcohol and drug education program.

Her domestic violence incident in 2006 was dismissed for lack of evidence, and she filed for a protective order from her husband at the time as The Blast reported she was 'involved in a very messy divorce.'
Nicolas has said he was 'too drunk' to get married in annulment papers filed four days after he tied the knot in Las Vegas.
In court documents the actor claims he and now ex-wife Erika were intoxicated and he 'lacked understanding of his actions in marrying [Koike] to the extent that he was incapable of agreeing to the marriage'.

Cage's lawyers stated: 'Prior to obtaining a marriage license and participating in a marriage ceremony, [Cage] and [Koike] were both drinking to the point of intoxication.
'As a result of his intoxication, when [Koike] suggested to [Cage] that they should marry, [Cage] reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions.'
The document also states Koike didn’t 'disclose to [Cage] the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person' and didn’t inform him of her 'criminal history' including 'additional active criminal proceedings'.
Cage has been married three times before - to Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marie Presley and most recently to Alice Kim.
He and Kim were married from 2004 to 2016 and share a son Kal-El who was born in October, 2005.
