Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis was slapped with a ticket after she caused a 4-car pile-up accident and RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the police record.
On August 28 Kathryn hit a car in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and that caused a chain reaction. Police issued her a ticket for “following vehicle too closely.”
The ticket revealed a trial date of November 4, 2019 was set for Kathryn. According to the Mount Pleasant Court, Kathryn does not have to appear in court if she pays the $232.50 fine.
