“The Real Housewives of Orange County” Star Shannon Storms Beador Pulled Over by Police amid DUI Probation

Shannon Storms Beador was pulled over by police while on probation for a September 2023 DUI.

According to court records reviewed by PEOPLE, The Real Housewives of Orange County star was pulled over by police while in Orange County, Calif., on May 21.

Beador, 61, was cited for "driving while operating a handheld wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device." Although she was cited and released, she has until July 11 to pay the fine, which is $20 for the first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense.

Reps for Beador did not immediately return PEOPLE's request for comment.

Us Weekly was the first to report the news.

The arrest comes amid Beador's three-year probation following her alleged DUI hit and run.

Beador's probation is set to end on November 1, 2026, according to court records reviewed by PEOPLE, and stems from her arrest on Sept. 17, 2023.

At the time, the Newport Beach Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE that Beador was "arrested at 1:17 a.m. on Sept. 17 after fleeing the scene from a collision that caused property damage."

After allegedly abandoning her car in the middle of the road, police found her walking her dog, according to an initial report by TMZ. Law enforcement officials told the outlet, which was the first to report the news, that she had a .24 blood alcohol level, which is three times the legal limit.

The NBPD told PEOPLE that Beador had been "booked for two misdemeanors — hit-and-run and DUI alcohol. She was released on a citation."

In addition to her probation, the reality star was ordered to pay $390 in fines, complete 40 hours of community service, and complete a 9-month alcohol program in November 2023, per court records reviewed by PEOPLE.

Her lawyer, Michael L. Fell, told PEOPLE at the time that Beader was "extremely apologetic and remorseful."

"We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions," said Fell.

While reflecting on the experience in a July 2024 conversation with PEOPLE, Beador said she "made a very stupid choice."

"I could have killed someone," she said. "And part of my therapy has been trying to move past that guilt and shame. You say to yourself, 'I could have killed someone... but I didn't.' So I don't want it to appear that I'm taking any of this lightly, because there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it. But I didn't hurt someone, and I'm grateful for that."

The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 premieres Thursday, July 10 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
