US EditionKaren Huger released from prison early after DUI arrest
Karen Huger served 187 days of her one-year DUI sentence and faces five years probation with a one-year driving ban, Montgomery County officials said.
- Karen Huger, known from The Real Housewives of Potomac, was freed on September 2, 2024, after serving part of her sentence for a DUI conviction at the detention facility in Montgomery County, Maryland.
- In February 2024, she was sentenced to one year in jail following a March incident near Bethesda, Maryland, where she collided with a pole while driving her Maserati and was convicted of five charges but acquitted of reckless driving.
- Video recordings from officers' body cameras and statements from witnesses indicated that Huger was intoxicated to the point of having difficulty speaking clearly, using profane language toward law enforcement, declining to take a breathalyzer test, rejecting medical assistance, and struggling to maintain her balance during the event.
- Her sentence included two years with one year suspended, and Huger apologized at sentencing calling it a 'wake-up call' and pledging lifelong attendance at AA meetings, while her attorney reserved the right to appeal.
- Huger's early release after just over six months suggests she will continue probation and driving restrictions, and her case remains a point of concern among her costars and fans.
