The Real Housewives of Potomac<\/em> star Karen Huger<\/strong><\/a> has been released from prison<\/a> six months early after her 2024 DUI arrest.<\/p>\n The Bravo personality, 62, left Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland on Tuesday, September 2, after serving just over six months of her sentence, a spokesperson for the prison confirmed to Page Six<\/em><\/a>. She entered the facility on February 27.<\/p>\n Huger was initially sentenced to two years<\/a> in jail with one year suspended, meaning she was set to spend one year behind bars. Us Weekly<\/em> confirmed last week that she would be leaving prison early<\/a>.<\/p>\n The reality star\u2019s conviction stemmed from her March 2024 car accident in Potomac, Maryland. Montgomery County Police told TMZ at the time that she was driving her 2017 Maserati in an \u201caggressive manner\u201d when she struck an intersection crosswalk sign and a parking sign.<\/p>\n Huger wasn\u2019t arrested at the scene, but she received multiple citations and was later charged with DUI and DWI.<\/p>\n After the accident, Huger shared a lengthy statement about her state of mind before the crash.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last night\u2019s incident but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother\u2019s Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami,\u201d she told TMZ at the time. \u201cLast night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I\u2019m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cI would like to stress, it\u2019s important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts. My mother may be my guardian angel, but the seatbelt saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
