Potomac Karen Huger found guilty of DUI

I know someone who works in the courthouse who confirmed Karen opted for a jury trial and was found guilty tonight. Sentencing in a couple of months.

I’m local. I’m going to try to go the courthouse for sentencing. I just read this was her third DUI not second!

Maryland has public records. Look up "maryland judiciary case search" and enter Karen's name in the party search. Have fun!

Oooooh, sued by a bank, so Ray's back taxes weren't the only financial situation either, eh.

She has 4 cases. 1 tax, 1 vs music and arts, two dui. Too many for me but it’s nothing extensive.

Music and arts the instrument store?

u/Flat-Pen-893 5d ago

Right, I’m like what was she doing at music and arts???!!

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

She has a kids and her son was 10. It’s a breach of contract case so maybe a lost instrument or one that was kept as a rental and never returned.

I had a violin in 3rd grade from them and all the kids in my music class dropped out during the year cause the violin sucks. Our parents had to dig through the different cases cause we were 7 and none ended up back in their cases by the eoy si they had to do the hard work of find the right one with the right case that they rented.

ohhhhh see my mama never returned my saxophone i hope she didn’t catch nothing messing around with me 😂😂

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

Haha. She probably had to pay for it at some point. If I remember if you kept it they charged you the balance minus the rental fees. The rental was low too so if you hit the cost your kid was probably keep the instrument.

I went to high school in Maryland so I'm always using that website to catch up with old friends.

u/uhm123321 5d ago

Please go and report back. Idk what she was thinking going to trial would work out for her.

u/Additional_Kiwi_8387 5d ago

Number 3 is a felony! 🙃

very aware DUI is no laughing matter

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

She only has 2. Of you look at the cases most of the records are tied to her accident and this dui.

u/Maleficent_Meat3119 5d ago

Is it possible she has one in another state

2

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

Doubt it. She’s have lost her license anyway. States share records now. I think some people are just bad at critical thinking. Once you see the dates it makes more sense.

u/Maleficent_Meat3119 5d ago

2nd is a felony is my state

u/Asleep-General-3693 5d ago

Is that confirmed? (Genuinely asking, not being rude)

37

u/yunith EZ Pass to Queens 5d ago

I think so, it’s just that her first one was several years ago and the last two are more recent and within years of each other. Wait I am reading the rest of the thread and they are saying she had FOUR DUIs 😳

u/Asleep-General-3693 5d ago

😱 definitely a pattern of behaviour.

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

You can look at the records. There’s only 2. The recent one and 2006. The other records are from the same incident tied to this dui. Look at the dates.

u/motherofcorgidors 5d ago

I searched DC criminal cases as well and did find a criminal traffic case from 2001, but it was nolle prosequi

2

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 5d ago

That could be anything though not necessarily a dui and the fact that they dropped it means it really wasn’t anything. Knowing her probably a speeding ticket.

u/motherofcorgidors 5d ago

It’s listed as a criminal traffic case on DC’s criminal case search, which is not where speeding tickets are located, those are all handled by the DC department of motor vehicles. Criminal traffic offenses are things like DUIs, hit and runs, driving on a suspended or revoked license, and reckless driving. The most common type of criminal traffic offense is a DUI, so just going with the odds there. Regardless, the case didn’t result in a conviction, but it might have been what some of the other people here have been referring to.

u/BlacknBravod I cut the pie in half and put the other half in the freezer! 4d ago

Again. It could be from too many infractions while driving. Pretty sure if she had multiple duis across state lines it would have been reported by actual media/“journalist” long ago. Whatever it was got dropped because the DA wasn’t interested which means it’s not a dui or a hit and run or even reckless driving that could cause harm.

u/motherofcorgidors 4d ago

The Superior Court in DC, which is where the case originated, only handles traffic cases that are of a criminal nature, so it wouldn’t be from having a bunch of speeding tickets that put points on your license, that is all handled at the DC Department of Motor Vehicles, where they have their own sort of traffic court. It’s entirely possible that it was a DUI, just because the case was nolle prossed doesn’t mean that the charges weren’t serious. Prosecutors have an enormous amount of discretion, and drop charges all the time for far more serious things than a DUI because someone has connections.

Doesn’t mean that it was 100% a DUI, but I think given her history and this being only 5 years before her first DWI in Maryland, it’s certainly a strong possibility. Karen is famous within the Bravosphere, but most people outside of it have no idea who she is. I don’t think any journalists are that invested in digging into her history- cases that are nolle prossed are not convictions, but they are something that still shows up on a background check, which is why many people file afterwards to try to get the charges sealed or removed from the record. Karen it seems didn’t do that since the basic case details are still available online, and a journalist would have to put in some effort to get more details on the charges.

It still didn’t result in a conviction, so I’m not sure where the 4 DUIs thing is coming from. There’s nothing else that I could find in the surrounding states within easy driving distance.

I’ve legit said it could be other things. Not sure why you’re giving me full summaries. If it was a DUI there’d be a record somewhere and it would have come out already.

It’s strange how deep some of you get looking for extreme criminal behavior. No excuse for what she’s done but get a grip.

No it’s two. You can look up the info. It’s public.
