Heitmann was convicted of DUI with a BAC of .15 or higher. She was arrested on August of 2024, and charged with driving under the influence with a BAC .15 or higher.

On Feb. 16, Heitmann pled no contest and was adjudicated guilty to the charge. She was sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation, with the option to terminate early after serving six months and completing her court-imposed conditions.

On April 17, an affidavit of violation of probation was filed for unlawful use or possession of cannabinoids. The court found Heitmann in violation of her probation on July 27 and modified the sentence to include 10 days of the weekend work program and extended supervision to May 16, 2027.

The defense said all probation conditions and financial obligations are now complete. The court did not order restitution in the case.

A hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday to determine whether the judge will grant the request. If approved, Heitmann would no longer be required to report to a probation officer or submit to random drug testing.

It remains unclear whether she would still be required to drive with a breathalyzer device in her car.

The court will decide whether to terminate her probation ahead of the May 16, 2027, end date.
