According to[PEOPLE](https://people.com/), Karen Huger filed paperwork on July 11 to*** "to suppress statements and evidence from her DUI arrest" ***as she ***"incriminated herself during a custodial interrogation without being read her Miranda rights."*** In the filing, the RHOP OG insisted that ***“the evidence seized in this case was obtained as a result of an illegal search and seizure.”*** ***“The defendant was told she was not free to leave,”*** Karen's lawyers wrote in the motion.*** “She was not read her Miranda warnings, indicating that the information she would provide them would be used in the filing of criminal charges against her.”*** ![RHOP OG Karen Huger drives Maserati with co-star Mia Thornton](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/karen-huger-dui-car-crash-1200x607.png)RHOP OG Karen Huger drives Maserati with co-star Mia Thornton However, on July 25, a judge denied Karen's request, citing that based on past Supreme Court cases, the RHOP star's ***“roadside investigation”*** did not require police to read her Miranda rights. ***“The defendant’s statements were not obtained as a result of a custodial interrogation because some of her statements were made while Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel were treating the defendant for potential injuries,”*** the ruling read. ***“The defendant’s statements made during this time were free and voluntary, and were stated out loud while in the presence of police officers.”*** ***“Additionally, statements made after the defendant was examined by EMS personnel were not obtained as a result of a custodial interrogation because the defendant’s subsequent statements were made while the defendant was temporarily detained pursuant to a traffic stop,” ***the ruling added. ***“The defendant’s statements should not be suppressed and the Defendant’s Motion to Suppress should be denied.”*** In March, the [Grand Dame of Potomac](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/12/18/rhop-s8-midseason-trailer/) was charged with driving under the influence following a car crash in Potomac, Maryland. The Bravo star has also been slapped with numerous traffic violations, including ***“negligent and reckless driving to driving way over the speed limit and driving with a suspended registration.” *** ![RHOP OG Karen Huger charged with DUI following car crash](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/7F8F0EF6-5F48-478E-BB0F-E9F109D326A2.jpeg)RHOP OG Karen Huger charged with DUI following car crash According to police, [Karen “struck a median and crosswalk sign](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/03/22/rhop-karen-huger-dui-crash-pics/)*** at an intersection before continuing on and colliding with a parking sign off the roadway.”*** This isn’t the first Karen has been charged with driving under the influence.
