Kim Zolciak's Daughter Ariana Biermann Sentenced Over 2022 DUI Arrest

Though she admitted to smoking a THC vape the night before, she denied she had been drinking before getting behind the wheel of her car. According to the documents, she will be on probation for 24 months.

Biermann was told in court that if she violated her probation, she could potentially end up in the slammer. She was also instructed to avoid drugs, not drink, follow all laws and report to any probation officer as instructed.

As part of her arrangement, she will have to produce breath, saliva, urine or blood specimens "from time to time" in order for it to be analyzed for the presence of drugs, including alcohol. She also was ordered to pay $2,000 in fines, partake in 40 hours of community service, not drink alcohol or take drugs unless prescribed, go through a Victim Impact program and complete an evaluation for substance abuse. If Biermann completes all of the tasks and pays all of her fines, the court acknowledged her probation could end early.

Justin Spitzman, Biermann’s lawyer, gave the following statement to a media outlet: “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. 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.”

After hitting another vehicle, Biermann was pulled over by cops in August 2022. She ended up getting arrested and charged with driving under the influence, misdemeanor improper lane change and underage alcohol possession.

In early 2024, she was slapped with six misdemeanor charges related to the arrest. These included driving under the influence of multiple substances, driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of drug related object due to her “unlawfully” possessing a vape pen with THC cartridge, improper turn, failure to obey signs or control devices and underage possession of alcohol.

After Biermann was arrested, Zolciak took to her Instagram Story to share, “Ariana was involved in a minor fender bender. When police arrived on the scene, the investigating officer immediately initiated an investigation for DUI of alcohol. Despite Ariana’s constant invocation that she was upset and anxious from the minor accident, the officer incorrectly concluded she was impaired. That was not the case.”

Zolciak noted her daughter had been “cooperative and honest” as she admitted to ingesting marijuana “over 24 hours prior to her contact with the law.” “In addition,” she continued, “the arresting officer, as evidenced by his own police report, charged Ariana with impairment by alcohol. She wholly denies these allegations and intends to fight these charges because she is not guilty of them. We appreciate the general public allowing this case to be tried on its merits, and not rhetoric or incorrect conclusions.”
