Shannon Storms Beador Pulled Over by Police While on DUI Probation

Shannon Beador Tells John Janssen To Go Away After His Tell-All Interview

Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador is once again making headlines after being pulled over by police while serving probation for a DUI conviction stemming from a 2023 incident.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the 61-year-old reality star was stopped in Orange County, California, on May 21. She was cited for “driving while operating a handheld wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device.” Although she was released after the citation, Beador must pay a fine—$20 for a first offense and $50 for any additional violations—by July 11.

This minor traffic citation comes as Shannon remains on probation following her September 2023 arrest. Her probation is scheduled to end on November 1, 2026.

Back in September, the Newport Beach Police Department confirmed that Shannon was “arrested at 1:17 a.m. on Sept. 17 after fleeing the scene from a collision that caused property damage.” The incident made headlines after she allegedly abandoned her car and was later found walking her dog. TMZ, which first reported the story, stated that her blood alcohol content was .24—three times the legal limit.

Following the arrest, law enforcement officials announced that Shannon had been “booked for two misdemeanors — hit-and-run and DUI alcohol. She was released on a citation.”

In November 2023, the court ordered Beador to pay $390 in fines, complete 40 hours of community service, and attend a 9-month alcohol education program. Her attorney, Michael L. Fell, shared at the time that Beador was “extremely apologetic and remorseful.”

Though the latest traffic stop didn’t result in a DUI-related charge, it does raise eyebrows considering her current probation status. Fans and critics alike are closely watching how Beador navigates the remainder of her legal obligations.

I'm glad she lives in South Orange County. I feel much safer knowing that the possibility of me driving anywhere near her is minimal. She really is a menace on the road.

We're talking Shannut Beador here, who I'm guessing still writes checks, has a landline and uses answering and fax machines. Itch probably has a typewriter. Betcha' there's still a bottle of Charlie perfume in her bathroom as well.

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, ‘Niggy! I swear, I even had some Charlie perfume as a kid. ? Shut up, I was THE SH*T in sixth grade with my Charlie perfume, Bonnie Bell lip smackers lip gloss (bubble gum flavor, of course), my purple corduroy gauchos with argyle knee socks and clogs! CLOGS! ???? ??? ALL y’all b*tches just WISH you were cool as me! ? Is the second hand embarrassment creeping in yet? ? Ah, good times, good times…

I was going to say Shalimar, but I think Charlie was more popular and more affordable. Windsong anyone?
Champagne Hangover July 9, 2025 - 1:57 pm
? I can’t seem to forget you. Your Windsong stays on my mind? ^^^ I can’t believe I still remember that slogan! Lol. Honorable mention to Jean Naté. Remember that sh*t? It was a body splash that I coveted. My mother REFUSED to buy it for me (the nerve! ?) cuz she said I’d make a mess with it and/or use too much and stink up the bathroom (RUDE!). And I plead the fifth on whether or not any mishap with my Charlie perfume had any bearing on such an injustice! ???

I'm just now realizing that the "Charlie girl" became one of Charlie's Angels. How have I never connected those dots? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d0d36cc89a433cef4a117e383365721b90aeab24de2bb6ec4021d7159b721c3a.png
