Public Information Officer Patty Pan confirmed to CBS News Atlanta that Chrisley was charged with DUI, attempting to elude, reckless driving, speeding and improper passing.
Jail records show Chrisley was booked into the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center on May 24 and released the same day after posting a $5,961 bond.
In a statement first reported by TMZ, Chrisley said she was pulled over after attempting to pass another vehicle on a two-lane road.

She also told the outlet she plans to fight the charges.
The arrest comes amid recent public attention surrounding Chrisley's breakup with former boyfriend David Landsman, according to TMZ.
