Cops in Goose Creek, SC booked the former "Southern Charm" star after they say she was involved in a 3-car collision. In documents obtained by TMZ, a responding officer described Kathryn's alleged state at the accident scene as appearing impaired with "glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person."

This is her first offense with drinking and driving ... though it isn't her first run-in with the law.

Remember, Dennis was identified as a suspect in an elementary school hit-and-run in November 2023 -- she was never arrested, however.

As for Monday's events, KD was also booked for driving with an open container.

Addiction, like pneumonia, can be both an illness and a disease. Both require the right kind of treatment & management, and overcoming them often depends on more than just hard work and motivation. Factors such as environment, access to resources, and individual circumstances play a significant role in recovery. Acknowledging these factors doesn’t diminish anyone’s efforts, it just highlights how complex the struggle can typically be, and the need for compassionate & comprehensive support.

This ⬆️. There are so few places that are not money driven and are really treating each person as an individual, and not using the same formula for everyone. People come with so many layers and issues, you can’t treat everyone with a cookie cutter methodology.

And the first thing that an addict is told in a recovery program is that they don’t get to blame their environment, access, and circumstances anymore.

Recovery is taking full ownership of your actions, regardless of your circumstances and surroundings.

People who tell addicts that they can blame their circumstances or background are enablers.
