RHOSLC’s Heather Gay admitted to cop she ‘took Adderall to stay buzzed for the club’ while being arrested for 2012 DUI
REAL Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay admitted to a police officer that she “took Adderall to stay buzzed for the club” while being arrested for a DUI in 2012.
Heather, 47, was arrested and charged with a DUI at 1 am on July 1, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Heather had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 and tested positive for amphetamines, court papers claimed.
In the police report exclusively obtained by The Sun, Heather admitted to authorities: “I had a sip.”
A cop noted in the report that Heather had glassy eyes, odor of alcohol on her breath and was “swaying from side to side.”
The report also claimed Heather “freely informed officers that she will take an Adderall pill in the evening if she wants to stay ‘buzzed’ and awake to go out to a club or something else.”
Heather was pulled over when authorities noticed she had no headlights on while driving her 2004 Range Rover.
The Sun previously reported from court documents: “During the traffic stop, Officer Harker believed he could smell alcohol and asked Ms. Gay if she had been drinking.

“Ms. Gay responded that earlier in the evening, she had a ‘few sips’ with friends at a local club. Ms. Gay also told Officer Harker that she had a prescription for Adderall.”
The Bravo star allegedly refused a breathalyzer test and was arrested.
At the police station, a search warrant was obtained and her blood was drawn.
The court papers continued to claim: “The test revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 and a positive result for amphetamines.”
Heather pleaded not guilty to the DUI and misdemeanor traffic charge at her arraignment.
HEATHER FIGHTS BACK
The RHOSLC star then filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence of the Blood Draw Based on Exceeding Scope of Warrant.
The reality star argued that the officer “exceeded the scope of the search warrant by instructing the toxicologist to search for amphetamines in her blood where the search warrant states ‘specifically, the substance alcohol,’ thus suggesting that alcohol was the sole item to be tested.”
Heather asked to “suppress” any evidence of amphetamines discovered in her blood sample.
A judge denied Heather’s motion to exclude the evidence.
SENTENCING
The DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving and she was found guilty.
She was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
The court ruled 178 days would be suspended.
She was allowed to complete 48 hours of community service in lieu of the two days in jail.
She was also ordered to pay $600 in court fines.
Heather was on probation for 364 days and was ordered to attend the LIVE MADD Victim Impact Panel.
LISA'S CLAIMS
On part one of the RHOSLC reunion, Heather went off on co-star Lisa Barlow for allegedly calling her a "Lego figure" and other names during the season.
When Heather said she has "dirt on Lisa," she fired back: "What about your DUI?"
Heather responded: "I don't have one, look it up!"
