Mormon Wives' Chase McWhorter Pleads Guilty to DUI Charge 1 Year After Arrest
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Chase McWhorter pleaded guilty to a DUI charge one year after he was arrested for driving under the influence, Us Weekly can confirm.
McWhorter, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI during a court appearance on Thursday, July 16, according to Utah court records viewed by Us.
In exchange for pleading guilty, prosecutors agreed to drop McWhorter's other charges and recommended probation, community service and a substance abuse evaluation instead of jail time. The judge has since signed off on the deal.
McWhorter was ordered to pay a $1,383 fine, to complete 48 hours of community service and to serve 12 months of probation, according to the documents.
Additionally, an ignition interlock device must remain in his car until July 16, 2027. The specific device is a vehicle breathalyzer that prevents a car from starting if it detects a blood alcohol concentration above a set limit, which is typically set between 0.02 percent to 0.025 percent.
Us previously reported that McWhorter was arrested in Utah on July 4, 2025, for driving under the influence and possession of cocaine. He was also charged with driving on a suspended or revoked license.
Chase – who was previously married to MomTok member Miranda McWhorter – was released on a $2,500 bond and initially pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Five months after his arrest, Chase broke his silence about the ordeal in a TikTok video.
"Time to address the elephant in the room. And I don't have a PR person, so we're just gonna rawdog this s***," he said in the video posted in December 2025. "The reports you saw yesterday that came out about what happened on July 4 with me are true."
He said that he was "pulled over for driving under the influence" after he had "ingested substances that I shouldn't have and got behind the wheel of a car."
"Extremely shortsighted, selfish and dangerous decision. And shout-out to the cop for helping people stay safe on the road, because it could have ended much worse than it did," Chase added.
Chase explained that he was attending a "pool party" at a friend's house and intended to stay there all day. However, a "fight broke out" and he decided to go home and "sleep off" his inebriated state.
"I should have Ubered, but for some reason, I decided to drive home, and that decision alone kills people every single day," he said. "I understand the severity of it. Obviously, it was a humiliating low being pulled over and taken in. Terrible look for me."
Us exclusively confirmed that Chase was pulled over for driving on a suspended license months after his DUI and cocaine possession arrest. Chase pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving on a suspended or revoked license in November 2025, according to court documents. The charge stemmed from an incident that took place two months prior.
After he entered the plea, the court ordered Chase to stay out of trouble and to pay a $335 fine.
The Bluffside Justice Center in Utah later sent Chase a letter in early December 2025, stating that he was in violation of the court order instructing him to pay fines for driving without a valid license.
Chase was given a deadline of December 17, 2025, to pay $335 or the matter would be sent to a judge. Us confirmed that he paid the fine ahead of the deadline.
