The verdict is in! Karen Huger will face one year in her highly-publicized DUI case.

‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ star will serve 12 months behind bars after being found guilty of driving under the influence following a March 2024 car crash and DUI arrest.

FOX 5’s Bob Barnard reported live from the Montgomery County courthouse in Rockville, Maryland, where the judge in the case stated, “You were filled to the gills with alcohol.” 

She was officially sentenced to two years with one year suspended.

The charges stem from a March 19, 2024, incident in which Huger crashed her Maserati into a pole near Oaklyn Drive in Potomac. 

A jury found her guilty of five out of six charges, including driving under the influence (DUI), negligent driving, failure to control speed, and failure to notify authorities of an address change. She was acquitted of reckless driving.

During the trial, body camera footage and witness testimony revealed the severity of Huger’s intoxication. An EMT testified that Huger swayed on her feet and refused medical treatment, while police footage showed her slurring her speech, cursing at officers, and refusing a breathalyzer and field sobriety test.

Huger, who has since checked into a private recovery program, is expected to speak at her sentencing hearing before Judge Terrence McGann.
