Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

Your wife is not eligible for USA citizenship.

Having a criminal record or any other court record doesn't help her in any way.

If she is illegally in USA and came to USA without a visa (illegally), she can't apply for a Green Card through adjustment of status. If she wants to become a permanent resident (Green Card holder) she will need to go back to her home country of Mexico and apply for a visa after your petition is approved.

I do not see how the driving incident affects your wife's ability to get permanent residency in any way. Your wife committed no crime. The key to your wife getting permanent residency is whether she entered the U.S. using a visa or she just sneaked across the Mexican border. If she sneaked across the Mexican border, there is nothing that anyone can do right now to make her legal. If she entered the U.S. using a visa, then you can sponsor her for permanent residency right now.
