‘Real Housewives’ Star Arrested at Airport Over Furniture Theft

Mia Fields-Thornton is charged with alleged theft of furniture worth about $11,000, police confirmed.

Former Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Fields-Thornton was arrested at an airport in Atlanta and charged with felony theft, police confirmed. The former reality star has had a warrant out for her arrest since October, when she was accused of stealing around $11,000 of furniture from a condo she was renting. Police reports state Fields-Thornton, 40, and a male friend “suddenly moved out of the unit in the middle of the night” without notifying the property owner, taking the furniture and television with them, according to CBS News. Fields-Thornton was detained by officers at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport and remains in custody at Fulham County Jail, police said, with bodycam footage capturing the moment she was apprehended. The television personality, who appeared in four seasons of the hit reality show, announced in April that she was moving to Atlanta to start a “new chapter” in her life. Her Instagram bio states she is the founder of a company called The House of Miamor, aimed at helping women get started in business.
