Lisa Barlow Reveals Heather Gay's 2012 Arrest for DWI
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, Heather Gay, was once arrested for driving under the influence, as she tested positive for amphetamines and alcohol during a traffic stop. Gay, 47, was arrested and charged with a DUI at 1 am on July 1, 2012 in Salt Lake City. The arrest was mentioned during part one of the RHOSLC reunion.
The court documents read: “During the traffic stop, Officer Harker believed he could smell alcohol and asked Ms. Gay if she had been drinking. “Ms. Gay responded that earlier in the evening, she had a few sips with friends at a local club. Ms. Gay also told Officer Harker that she had a prescription for Adderall.” The Bravo star allegedly refused a breathalyzer test and was arrested. At the police station, a search warrant was obtained and her blood was drawn.
Court papers claim: “The test revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 and a positive result for amphetamines.” Heather pleaded not guilty to the DUI and misdemeanor traffic charge at her arraignment. The reality star argued that the officer “exceeded the scope of the search warrant by instructing the toxicologist to search for amphetamines in her blood where the search warrant states ‘specifically, the substance alcohol,’ thus suggesting that alcohol was the sole item to be tested.”
The judge denied Gay's motion to suppress any evidence of amphetamines discovered in her blood sample. The DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving and she was found guilty. The second charge was dismissed. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail. The court then ruled that 178 days would be suspended. She was allowed to complete 48 hours of community service in lieu of the two days in jail. She was also ordered to pay $600 in court fines. Heather was on probation for 364 days and was ordered to attend the LIVE MADD Victim Impact Panel.
On part one of the RHOSLC reunion, Heather went off on co-star Lisa Barlow for allegedly calling her a "Lego figure" and other names during the season. When Heather said she has "dirt on Lisa," she fired back: "What about your DUI?". Heather responded: "I don't have one, look it up!". Lisa yelled back: "Yes you do! I did look it up. Yes you do, you're a liar."
