Former Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton has been arrested for allegedly stealing $11,000 worth of furniture.
On Wednesday (November 19), Thornton was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia and booked into Fulton County Jail on an active warrant tied to "a larceny involving an alleged furniture theft," police said.
According to a police report obtained by PEOPLE, a property management company contacted authorities on behalf of the owner of a condo rented to Thornton. The landlord reported that furniture was removed from the unit "in the middle of the night" on October 28.
"The tenants also took all of the furniture which was in the unit prior to their move in as well as the TV which was on the wall," Thornton's former landlord said.
The items were valued at $11,000.
Thornton moved to Atlanta earlier this year after announcing her departure from RHOP following four seasons. In an April Instagram post, Thornton said she had “made the decision to relocate to Atlanta” with her family and would not return to the show. The reality star described her time as a Housewife as “an unforgettable journey… filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories.”
Thornton also thanked executive producer Andy Cohen, Bravo, her castmates, and fans.
“This next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities… I don’t just make headlines — I make History. Atlanta, brace yourself," she wrote.
The former RHOP star hasn't publicly spoken out about her arrest.
