Mia Thornton Arrested At Atlanta Airport
She was booked into the Fulton County Jail on Wednesday. According to police and jail records, officers at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport were called to the Customs and Border Protection office after reports of a wanted person, which turned out to be Mia. Additionally, body camera footage reportedly revealed that Mia was aware of the warrant for her arrest.
More Details About The Legal Trouble
So, what exactly led to Mia’s shocking arrest in the middle of an airport? Atlanta police allege that the reality star, along with a man identified as Jared McGriff, suddenly moved out of a Marietta Street condo in the middle of the night on October 28, taking furniture and a television. The stolen items are estimated to total around $11,000, according to the police report obtained by CBS News Atlanta. This all comes after Mia Fields-Thornton, who joined Bravo’s hit show in its sixth season, had announced earlier this year that she was moving to Atlanta and would not be returning to the series.
The TL Doesn’t Know What To Think
Fans flooded The Shade Room Instagram comment section with mixed reactions. Some joked that Mia’s mugshot is fire, while others speculated that something shady must be going on at Bravo, noting this is the third recent arrest involving one of their stars. Meanwhile, plenty of supporters are calling for her to be freed ASAP, no Rocky.
