RHOP Mia Thornton arrested for felony theft after eviction filing
“Bravo Con” is taking on a whole new meaning as yet another Real Housewife has been arrested.
MIA THORNTON ARRESTED
The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Mia Thornton (full name Mia Nicole Fields-Thornton) was arrested on an outstanding warrant at the Atlanta airport on Wednesday.
40-year-old Mia is facing a felony theft charge after she allegedly took roughly $11,000 worth of furniture from a furnished condo she was renting with boyfriend Incognito (real name Jared McGriff).
According to the police report obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta and others, Mia allegedly took the furniture when she “suddenly moved out of the unit in the middle of the night” on October 28.
The only information we have about the alleged stolen furniture is that it included a television.
The landlord filed a police report roughly one week after Mia moved out.
At the time of the publishing of this article, Mis is still in the custody of the Fulton County Jail.
MIA THORNTON ARREST VIDEO
Mia Thornton’s arrest was captured by body worn police cameras. The footage has already been posted online.
In the arrest video, Mia can be heard telling officers that the furniture is in storage and she’s willing to give it back.
MIA THORNTON SUED FOR EVICTION IN SEPTEMBER
Starcasm has obtained court records indicating Mia Thornton and her boyfriend Incognito were sued for eviction from an Atlanta condo in September.
The furnished 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,011-square-foot condo was available for rent for $5,100 a month in April of this year. Mia posted a photo with her family in April that looks to be the same apartment:
Below is a photo from the rental listing in which you can see the matching elements, including the appliance and bowl on the kitchen counter:
You can also match up the artwork on the wall from a rental listing photo and a gallery of photos Mia posted on Instagram in July.
Below are cropped photos from Mia and the rental listing in which you can see the framed pieces of art match, albeit in a different order:
It should be noted that the light colored furniture in Mia’s photos is different that the dark furniture from the listing.
Perhaps Mia had living room furniture before she moved in, or purchased furniture she liked better after moving in, so she put the furniture that came with the apartment in storage. Then, she just didn’t put it back when she moved out? That doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch.
As stated before, Mia is currently still in custody. I have no doubts we will know more about her side of the story within hours of her release, so stay tuned.
