Mia Thornton, known for her role on Real Housewives of Potomac, found herself in legal trouble in Georgia on Wednesday, following allegations of furniture theft valued in the thousands.
The 40-year-old, who recently ended her relationship with boyfriend Incognito earlier this year, was captured on police body cam footage obtained by TMZ at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Reports indicate that she was taken into custody and booked at the Fulton County Jail on charges of larceny.
Authorities allege that Mia stole items worth $11,000 from a fully furnished condo where she had been residing.
The reality star vacated the property last month, purportedly taking furniture and a television with her.
The condo’s owner lodged a police complaint, asserting that Mia departed unexpectedly in the middle of the night without prior notice.

Mia and her ex-husband Gordon Thornton share son Jeremiah, 10, and daughter Juliana, eight.
She is also mom to an older son, Joshua, from a previous relationship.
In January she announced her split from ex-boyfriend Incognito.
The housewife — who sparked engagement rumors in January 2024 — and Incognito, who also goes by Inc, dated for about one year before Thornton she confirmed their breakup to The Shade Room.
‘Inc is my best friend and perfect in so many ways, but I have decided to focus on my children and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship with their father,’ she explained.
The two initially dated in high school.
Mia fueled speculation that she and Inc called it quits after she shared a New Year’s Eve selfie with ex Gordon.
‘NEW Year. New Beginnings. Cheers to living life to the fullest,’ she wrote to her 363,000 Instagram followers on Tuesday.
She added, ‘#momanddad #nye2025,’ and her handle has remained @MrsMiaThornton despite their separation in June 2023.

Then in September she shared more cozy photos with he former spouse and wrote, ‘Happy Birthday to G — Grateful for the journey we share, raising our beautiful family and doing life together in our own way.
‘Wishing you love, joy, and everything you deserve today & always. Forever, MIAmor.’
In April she announced her exit from Real Housewives of Potomac and a move to Atlanta.
Sharing photos from a professional shoot, she captioned, ‘With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share. My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season.
‘The past four seasons have been an unforgettable journey one filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories. I want to thank Truly Original, Bravo, NBCUniversal, and Andy Cohen for believing in me and giving me the space to share my story.’
