Dance Moms vet Christi Lukasiak is in legal trouble.

The former reality star, 47, was arrested on June 27 on a DUI charge in Murrysville, Penn., according to court records. Lukasiak has other traffic infractions documented in Pennsylvania court records, though this is her first infraction for driving under the influence.

Reps for Lukasiak did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment.

CBS News reported that Lukasiak allegedly crashed her Audi Q7 into a tree, that she appeared glassy-eyed upon interacting with authorities, and that she told a police officer that she’d had two glasses of wine that night. The outlet also noted that Lukasiak agreed to typical field sobriety tests, including a breathalyzer that allegedly confirmed the presence of alcohol in her blood.

Meanwhile, USA Today reported that Lukasiak allegedly declined submitting a blood draw in order to test her blood alcohol level after the incident.

Her prior infractions were for violating rules on the Pennsylvania turnpike in 2014, driving without proper inspection in 2015, and speeding in 2021.
