"Real Housewives of New York" star Luann de Lesseps has officially been charged in her drunken arrest over the holidays in which she attacked a police officer in Palm Beach, Florida.
TMZ reported that Luann was charged with a felony count of resisting an officer with violence. She faces up to five years in prison on the felony. She was also charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication charge, both of which are misdemeanors.
Luann was initially booked on two other felony counts of corruption by threat, but those were dropped in the official charging documents.
The reality TV star reportedly checked into rehab after the arrest.
"After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed. I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center," she said in a statement. "My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character."
On Jan. 23, she tweeted that her brief rehab stint was going well.
"It's good to be home," she tweeted Tuesday morning. "I'm doing great. Spending time with friends and family. Thanking everyone for you continued good wishes and support."
According to the Palm Beach Post, an assistant state's attorney said that the reality star slammed a door and kicked a police officer during an alcohol-fueled tirade in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve. She also told people prior to her arrest, "I'm going to kill you all," the state's attorney claimed.
