The word on the street is that RHOP OG Karen Huger has been charged with DUI following a car crash in Potomac on Tuesday night. Get all details!
TMZ reports that the Grand Dame of Potomac has been charged with driving under the influence in connection to a car crash she was involved in earlier this week. She has also been slapped with numerous traffic violations.
Per online records, the RHOP star is facing one count of DUI as well as additional DWI charges. Karen Huger will need to make a mandatory court appearance to address the charges against her.
Karen Huger also faces several other alleged infractions including everything from “negligent and reckless driving to driving way over the speed limit and driving with a suspended registration.” The six traffic violations all have fines attached to them which range from $50 to $510.
Last Tuesday night, the RHOP star was aggressively driving her 2017 Maserati in Potomac, Maryland where she and husband, Ray Huger reside.
According to police, Karen “struck a median and crosswalk sign at an intersection before continuing on and colliding with a parking sign off the roadway.”
While Karen was “doing fine after the accident” the same can’t be said for her vehicle which is badly damaged. While talking to TMZ after the crash, Karen chalked the accident up to “driving while in a super emotional state.”
Karen said she went to dinner with a friend where the two engaged in conversation about some emotional topics, including her deceased mother. She says she left the dinner crying as she attempted to drive home. Yet, her journey was interrupted when she swerved to avoid a car coming straight at her.
The Bravoleb was NOT arrested at the scene and was not booked into jail however after further investigation by Montgomery County PD Karen was later charged with DUI and several other driving violations.
This isn’t the first Karen has been charged with driving under the influence. Over a decade ago, long before she starred, on RHOP, Karen pled guilty to “Driving While Impaired By Alcohol” and received probation.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
