‘RHOP’ Star Karen Huger Found Guilty of DUI
“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger has been found guilty of five out of six charges, including driving under the influence, following a court appearance earlier this week.
The Bravo reality star faced charges related to a car crash on March 19 in Potomac, Maryland. Huger was driving her Maserati when she struck a median and a crosswalk sign at an intersection. The collision continued as she hit a parking sign before her vehicle came to a stop just off the road. Luckily, no one was injured.
A jury ultimately convicted the 61-year-old of DUI, negligent driving, failure to control speed to avoid a collision, and failure to notify authorities of an address change. However, she was acquitted of reckless driving.
In a statement to TMZ, Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, said: “Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course, respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case.”
Bolden added, “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”
Police body cam footage showing the aftermath of the crash has since been released. Huger faces up to two years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for January 29, 2025.
