DeKalb County Records Show 'Power' Actor Alix Lapri Booked on Child-Cruelty, Disorderly Conduct Charges

Records list a misdemeanor count that covers allowing a minor to witness violence, with key details still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Lapri, identified in records by her full name Alexus Lapri Geier, was booked in DeKalb County on Aug. 18 and released Aug. 19 after roughly a day in custody.
  • Georgia’s third-degree cruelty-to-children statute is a misdemeanor tied to a child witnessing a forcible felony, battery, or family-violence battery, not an allegation of direct physical harm.
  • Jail entries viewed by multiple outlets show an alleged offense date of Aug. 10, creating a timing discrepancy with the Aug. 18 arrest and booking.
  • No incident report or court filing has been made public, and the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office as well as representatives for Lapri have not responded to requests for comment.
  • Social posts from Lapri’s Instagram on Aug. 21 and Aug. 25 have prompted online questions about timing, as co-star Michael Rainey Jr. publicly noted the charge does not accuse her of hurting children.
