RHOC star Shannon Beador AVOIDS prison time and is sentenced to three years probation for a hit-and-run while under the influence after crashing her car into a Newport Beach home

Real Housewife of Orange County Shannon Beador will avoid prison time in her drunken hit-and-run case after a California judge approved a three-year probation sentence.

The distraught reality star was served her sentence on Thursday. She was placed on 36 months of informal probation, plus fines and fees.

She must also complete 40 hours of community service and a nine-month alcohol program.

The Bravo fighter did not appear in court herself, but instead had her attorney appear on her behalf to enter her plea of ​​no contest to one count of driving under the influence and one count of driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or more.

The judge dismissed the single charge of hit-and-run causing property damage.

A source close to Shannon said: “It’s safe to say she’s relieved and grateful that she’s not going to prison.” This experience has taught her so much and shown her the path to a better life. “She is sober and doing very well.”

Originally preserved legal documents from TMZ revealed that Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer had tried to convince the judge to impose a 30-day prison sentence.

Beador, 59, was arrested in September after she drove her car into a home in Newport Beach.

Video surveillance footage shows Beador speeding through a residential area before crashing her car into the side of a house.

In the legal documents, DA Spitzer wrote that Beador had a blood alcohol content of 0.24 percent before the accident – three times the legal limit.

Beador left the accident with a broken left wrist and cuts and bruises to his left eye.

She has now paid for the damage to the house she hit.

Following her arrest in September, Beador’s lawyer Michael Fell told DailyMail.com: “Shannon is extremely apologetic and remorseful.” We will await official information on this case as it becomes available and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her to take action.”

After the accident, Beador shared with her fans and followers that she was “focused on getting healthy, getting back to myself, and going for walks with Archie (her dog).”
