Mia Thornton was sued for eviction weeks before she was arrested for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of furniture from a luxury condo she was renting.
Company Encore Management filed a lawsuit against Thornton and her ex-boyfriend and roommate, Jared McGriff, on Sept. 11.
In court docs viewed by Page Six, the company claims Thornton and McGriff rented a property and “fail[ed] to pay rent” on the unit located in Atlanta.
Encore Management demanded the duo be evicted and pay the past due rent of $5,100 for September, plus $6,085 per month up until the date of judgment.
The reality star and her boyfriend have not responded to the lawsuit. Us Weekly was the first to report on the eviction.
Page Six has reached out to a contact for Thornton but did not immediately receive a response.
On Wednesday, the “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum was arrested at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport after law enforcement was called to the Customs and Border Protection office where they were informed of a wanted person.
According to a police report obtained CBS News, Thornton is accused of stealing $11,000 worth of furniture from the same condo that she failed to pay rent.
The condo’s manager claimed in the report that Thornton abruptly “moved out of the unit in the middle of the night” without notice on Oct. 28.
Police body camera footage showed Thornton tell police that she was aware she had a warrant out for her arrest.
Thornton announced her departure from “RHOP” in April after appearing on four seasons of the franchise.
In her announcement, she also revealed her move to Atlanta, jokingly telling the city to “brace” itself as she plans to “expand her empire” there.
