During the trial, body camera footage and witness testimony revealed the severity of Huger’s intoxication. An EMT testified that Huger swayed on her feet and refused medical treatment, while police footage showed her slurring her speech, cursing at officers, and refusing a breathalyzer and field sobriety test.
Huger, who has since checked into a private recovery program, is expected to speak at her sentencing hearing before Judge Terrence McGann.
