Why was Karen Huger sentenced?

Renowned TV personality Karen Huger is expected to serve time in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility after the judge’s decision in her DUI case.

According to a report by USA Today, Huger appeared in the Maryland Circuit Court recently where Judge Terrence J. McGann conveyed that the RHOP star will have to stay behind bars for a year, with another year suspended. The verdict was announced on Wednesday, February 26.

A fine of $2,900 and a five-year supervised probation term were also imposed on Huger. Moreover, the star is barred from driving for a year after serving her term in jail. Upon failure to comply with the conditions, Huger will be sent to jail to complete her suspended term.

In March 2024, Karen Huger was involved in a crash in which she slammed her Maserati into multiple street sign poles in her hometown. In a body camera footage released by the police authorities, Huger appeared heavily intoxicated and her speech was unclear. She was convicted by a Montgomery County jury in December for driving under the influence and negligent driving.

While speaking to ABC News after the verdict announcement on Wednesday, Huger’s attorney David Martella said, “Karen Huger told me she is at peace with this. She is glad this part of the process is over. She has been working very hard on her recovery for the last few months, and that has allowed her to be the healthiest that she has been in years.”
