From the hit TLC show, Welcome to Plathville, fans were shocked to find out that Kim Plath has been arrested on DUI charges. She was arrested on Thursday and taken into police custody in Crawfordville, Florida.
Welcome to Plathville: What Happened?
The Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office shared a statement that read, “She was arrested on an outstanding warrant from another agency. She turned herself in to our agency. She turned herself into the sheriff’s office in the lobby today for arrest.”
Welcome to Plathville: Kim Plath Arrested for DUI
This warrant explained that Kim had been arrested for drunk driving, but “no other details of the case or where the original agency was for arrest are available.” TLC was contacted by the press as well, but as of right now, they haven’t made a statement about her arrest.
Does this mean that if they renew Welcome to Plathville, will Kim be fired from the show? We all know that TLC doesn’t really look at arrests in a good way, but there have been a lot of ex-cons on their reality shows.
Apparently, this drunk driving arrest also came with a charge of damaging property and personal injury. Fans have pointed out that Kim seems to have been in a really bad place lately and this could be the cause for the drunk driving. Just a few months ago, she did announce that she was filing for divorce from her husband, Barry Plath after 24 years of marriage.
Although Kim seemed to be solid with this decision, Barry was heartbroken and tried his best to work on their marriage. When she continued to push him away, he decided that it was for the best.
Fans of the show are pretty shocked at Kim for driving drunk. The Plaths raised their children in a very strict, Christian home and frowned upon alcohol use. Discovering that she not only drinks but also drives drunk, fans of Kim’s felt that this had to be caused by her pending divorce or her sadness about it. She is using alcohol to heal, according to some and this could be a sign that her mental health is struggling and this is how she is seld-medicating.
We just hope that the next time Kim gets into a car, she isn’t drinking and that she hasn’t hurt anyone while drunk behind the wheel. You can follow her on her social media accounts and we will continue to monitor this case as it progresses.
