Karen Huger, a star of the reality TV show 'Real Housewives of Potomac,' is on trial facing eight charges related to an alleged drunk driving incident in March.
A ' Real Housewives of Potomac ' star is on trial this week after an alleged drunk driving incident in March resulted in a car wreck. Karen Huger , 61, faces eight charges total, including Driving a Vehicle While Impaired by Alcohol and Driving a Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol. Just before midnight on March 19, 2024, authorities said Huger crashed her car near Oaklyn Drive in Potomac . A man who witnessed the wreckage testified in court Tuesday that the car smelled like alcohol.
Other witnesses who testified in court Tuesday included a volunteer EMT who responded that night, along with two police officers.

However, she would also compliment a female firefighter a few minutes later.'You’re so pretty, and you’re so beautiful,' the EMT told the jury, referring to Huger’s alleged statements. In court Tuesday, body camera footage was also shown to the jury. The body camera was worn by an officer who arrested Huger. He is heard on camera telling her she was 'hammered,' as she appeared to slur her speech in the cruiser.'This is bulls—t,' Huger is heard saying. 'I hate you, you know that?'

However, Arora said it is a bit unusual that Huger’s attorneys would not try the case in District Court first, given how appeal laws work in Maryland.'If a DUI case is, for example, in the District Court, usually, it’s the appropriate thing to have your trial in the district court.
