David’s reckless driving charges come just six months after Shannon was charged withdriving under the influence.

Shortly after, Fell — David’s current attorney also represented Shannon in this case — issued a statement to PEOPLE about her actions.
“I spent quite a bit of time with Shannon yesterday,” he said. “She is extremely apologetic and remorseful. We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions.”

In November, Shannon wassentenced to three years of probationand 40 hours of community service. She was also required to complete a nine-month alcohol program and pay restitution for the house damage from the incident.
At the time, Fell shared a statement with PEOPLE on her behalf, confirming Shannon pleaded no contest to Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Driving “when she had a blood-alcohol level of .08 or above.”
“The Orange County District Attorney’s Office argued that Shannon should be sentenced to jail and be convicted of DUI and a hit-and-run. But after receiving legal arguments from both sides, the judge denied the prosecutor’s request and dismissed the hit-and-run,” Fell said. “In so ruling, the judge acknowledged that Shannon had made full restitution to the homeowner in this matter, who did not desire prosecution, and admitted her wrongdoing at an early stage of the proceedings.”
Fell noted that “Shannon took full responsibility for her actions and accepted the judge’s sentence,” before sharing a message from Shannon that stated, “I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident. I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far.'”
