Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana receives sentencing THREE years after DUI arrest

   

Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana Biermann has finally received her sentencing following her 2022 DUI arrest. 

The media personality, 23, was involved in a 'minor fender bender' at the time - but denied that she had been drinking leading up to the incident. However, she admitted to using a marijuana vape the night before. 

A hearing recently took place last week on May 23 amid her criminal case and she entered a plea deal - with charges officially being dropped, per InTouch Weekly - which was first to report the news. 

She pleaded guilty to both reckless driving as well as possession and use of a drug-related object. 

However, the star will have to serve 24 months on probation and if she commits any violations, Ariana could possibly serve time in jail. Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana Biermann, 23, has finally received her sentencing following her 2022 DUI arrest

Biermann's probation details also include that she will have to undergo both drug and alcohol tests 'from time to time.' 

She must stay away from alcohol and drugs - unless prescribed to her by a medical professional - and also complete an evaluation for substance abuse. 

Ariana will need to do 40 hours of community service, pay over $2,000 in fines and also take a Victim Impact program. 

 

The class helps 'drunk and drugged driving offenders understand the lasting and long-term effects of substance impaired driving,' per the Victim Impact Panels website.   

If Biermann completes the above as well as passes her drug and alcohol tests, her probation has the possibility of ending early. 

The star's lawyer Justin Spizman told InTouch: 'Ms. Biermann maintained her innocence since her arrest. 

'We are pleased that the State of Georgia eventually decided to dismiss the impaired driving charge and offer Ms. Biermann the opportunity to plead guilty to a traffic ticket.'

Spizman added, 'Despite her desire to fight this case, she took advantage of the opportunity to put this matter behind her and focus her energy on all the positive endeavors in her life.'

Leading up to the hearing last week, Ariana had been facing six misdemeanor charges. 

In August 2022, Biermann was arrested at the age of 20 following a 'minor fender bender' in Forsyth County, Georgia. 

She had been joined by boyfriend Hudson McLeroy at the time who was also arrested for alcohol-related charges. 

According to TMZ, officers had reported telling Ariana that they could smell alcohol on her breath - despite her claims that she had not been drinking.

However, the media personality did admit that she had 'smoked a THC vape pen the night before but did not drink.' 

Biermann underwent a field sobriety test and law enforcement had alleged that she had a 'noticeable sway.' 

At the time of the arrest, Ariana faced three separate charges including misdemeanor DUI driving under the influence of alcohol, misdemeanor improper/erratic lane change and underage alcohol possession/purchase of alcohol.

Her lawyer had told TMZ: 'Ariana was involved in a minor fender bender. When police arrived on scene, the investigating officer immediately initiated an investigation for DUI.'

'My mom is Kim Zolciak. Do we still say Biermann? I'm not sure this week,' she humorously stated. 

'My mom did [The] Real Housewives Of Atlanta. And my dad played football for a while. And now they're getting a divorce. It's been very messy, so I was really ready, ready to get out of Atlanta.' 

And while recently talking to Bravo's The Daily Dish, Ariana have a positive update on her mom Kim as she moves on following the split from Kroy. 

'My mom's new house is amazing. She's so happy. She was living in the basement of our old house...so I think for her, it's almost like a really nice, fresh start.' She also had kind words for Kroy. Upon tying the knot with Kim back in 2011, he adopted both Ariana and Brielle, 28 - whom Zolciak welcomed during a past relationship

Biermann continued, 'Where she can be in her own space and kind of just heal from everything that's gone on in the past couple of years.' 

She also had kind words for Kroy. Upon tying the knot with Kim back in 2011, he adopted both Ariana and Brielle, 28 - whom Zolciak welcomed during a past relationship. 

The former couple also share four children: KJ, 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, 11. 

'I hope he's doing amazing. I think it's really a tough situation right now, between the family, and it goes through its waves. But he lives in his own house as well.'
