Karen Huger is getting out of jail early. 

The 62-year-old, who made her name starring on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Potomac," is scheduled to be released early following her DUI arrest in Maryland last year.

Huger was found guilty by a jury of driving under the influence, negligent driving, and other offenses following a March 2024 crash in Montgomery County.

On Wednesday, Feb. 26, a judge sentenced Huger to two years, with one suspended, followed by five years' probation.

However, more than six months after that sentence, Huger is reportedly set to be released early, as of Tuesday, Sept. 2.

She has been on the show since it premiered in 2016. She is also a graduate of the University of Virginia, and is the "Grand Dame of Potomac," according to Bravo.

Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 a Montgomery County Department of Police spokesperson said that Huger crossed a median in her Maserati and struck signs along Oaklyn Drive and Beenman Woods Way in Potomac.

At the time of the crash, Huger was not arrested, but was cited for her careless driving.

Bodycam footage that was later released during her trial showed an unsteady Huger refusing treatment, slurring her speech, and lashing out at first responders.

"Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case," her lawyer said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. "We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf." 

Huger was ultimately convicted of DUI, negligent driving, failure to control speed and avoid a collision, and failure to notify of address change.

Once she is released, Huger will also serve five years of probation, with an additional year behind bars looming if she violates any terms of that agreement.
