Plath’s October arrest was in relation to a June 10 “single-vehicle crash.” The collision occurred at around 11:52 p.m. in the Port Leon Drive area in Florida.  A police officer witnessed Plath make a lefthanded turn before her vehicle “overturned” and landed on “its roof in a ditch (filled with water).” The documents include that the “single occupant/driver was identified as Kimberly Plath.” She was “still in the driver’s seat” when a witness and another officer helped her out of the car, the report detailed.

Officers on the scene noted that Plath “appeared to be intoxicated and had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath and person.” 

The on-camera matriarch was rushed to the emergency room where she later submitted to a voluntary blood test. While in the examination room, an officer asked Plath “how much she had to drink this evening,” to which she responded, “Two 12-ounce margaritas.”
