[Shannon Beador](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/shannon-beador-rhoc/) learned her fate on Thursday, November 2, almost two months after her arrest for DUI and hit-and-run. The RHOC star will not serve any jail time for her DUI. The judge also dismissed one count of hit-and-run with property damage. Instead, Shannon Beador pleaded no contest to one count of driving under the influence as well as driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more. ![Shannon Beador Arrested For DUI And Hit-And-Run Amid Co-star Gina Saying She Needs To Check Into Rehab](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/171120_3622854_Shannon_Beador_Reveals_She_s_Not_With_David_.jpeg)RHOC star Arrested For DUI And Hit-And-Run The 59-year-old was sentenced to 36 months of informal probation.

Right now, I’m focusing on getting healthy and getting back to myself and walking.
