Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis 'arrested for DUI' following three-car collision - six months after being 'identified as a suspect in elementary school hit-and-run'

Southern Charm alum Kathryn Dennis has been arrested for driving under the influence after getting involved in a three car collision, according to a new report.

TMZ reports the Bravo vet, 32, was booked by officers in Goose Creek, South Carolina following the car accident on Monday night.

Dennis seemed to be impaired and had 'glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person,' a responding officer said in documents obtained by the outlet.

The reality star was also booked for driving with an open container.

It comes six months after she was identified as a suspect in a hit-and-run at an elementary school, according to TMZ. She was never arrested for the alleged incident.

TMZ notes this is Dennis' first drinking and driving offense. 

In October 2023, it was reported that Kathryn's registered 2022 Ford SUV was involved in a hit and run collision. 

A 'knowledgeable source' confirmed to People that Dennis was 'involved' in the accident outside Whitesville Elementary School in Moncks Corner. 

School resource officer deputy Michelle Ward - who was directing traffic at the time - confirmed she was the victim of the hit-and-run by reposting the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office accident report on her Facebook account.

In the comments, Ward told her followers she was feeling 'sore, but good' after the SUV 'hurt my hand' and she noted that 'a parent got a pic of the [license plate] tag.'

'[It] wasn't part of my plan for the day,' Michelle replied to another follower. 

'I was a bit pi**ed as well.' 

Ward had informed Berkeley County dispatch that the vehicle 'did not stop' after striking her just before 7:18am, and she was 'transported to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries.'

Dennis departed Southern Charm after eight seasons last year. 

She shares two children with fellow Southern Charm vet Thomas Ravenel: son St. Julien Rembert, eight, and daughter Kensington Calhoun, 10. 

Dennis has previously struggled with substance abuse and last year she reportedly lost custody of her two children after she 'failed multiple drug tests', a source told The Sun. Her ex was granted full custody.  

Kathryn and Thomas' tumultuous on/off six-year relationship ended in 2018 amid his sexual assault allegations from three women.

Ravanel notoriously resigned as South Carolina State Treasurer after pleading guilty to 'conspiring to buy and distribute less than 100 grams of cocaine' back in 2007.

In January 2023, Dennis confirmed she would be leaving her gig on Southern Charm after eight seasons and one demotion to 'guest star.'

'What a wild ride it's been! Can you believe I was 21 when I first started filming Southern Charm, back in its first season? That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, it's safe to say my life changed in ways I could never imagine,' the former teen model told People in a statement.

'Y'all watched me grow up, become a mom to two amazing children, and build friendships I'll always treasure. And through it all, the love y'all have shown for me not only gave me the strength I needed to tackle it all, but helped me realize that I wasn't alone. I'm so grateful.

'I'll be carrying that love with me as I enter this next chapter of my life, away from the Southern Charm lens. I'm thankful for Bravo, the producers at Haymaker and my Charleston cast mates for everything. And I'm excited for whatever comes next. If it's anything like the last decade, it'll be a memorable ride. LFG [let's f***ing go].'
