Real Housewives of Potomac alum Mia Thornton was arrested in Atlanta on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
Thornton, 40, was arrested by Atlanta police at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and booked into the Fulton County Jail “without incident,” according to a statement from the Atlanta Police Department.
Police said Thornton was taken into custody because she had an active warrant “related to a larceny involving an alleged furniture theft.”
A police report viewed by PEOPLE alleges that a property management company called police on behalf of their client, who was the owner of a condo unit rented out to Thornton, after furniture was allegedly removed from the property “in the middle of the night” on Oct. 28.
Thornton’s former landlord claimed that “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.”
The property that was allegedly stolen was valued at $11,000, according to the report.
PEOPLE reached out to Thornton for comment.
In April, Thornton left RHOP after four seasons and moved to Atlanta. In a long Instagram post, she shared she had “made the decision to relocate to Atlanta” with her family and therefore “will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season.”
Thornton called it a “new beginning” in the Instagram post as she called her four seasons on the Bravo reality show “an unforgettable journey…filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories.”
She also thanked Andy Cohen individually, extending gratitude to him and Bravo for “believing in me and giving me the space to share my story.”
“To my castmates: thank you for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments,” she continued. “And to the amazing fans, your love and support has meant everything to me. I’ll always carry that with me.”
