Police say the case stems from an alleged $11,000 removal of furnishings from a rented condo, elevating the accusation to a felony under Georgia law.

Overview

  • Officers detained Fields-Thornton at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a Customs and Border Protection alert and booked her into Fulton County Jail, body-camera video shows.
  • Fulton County records list the charge as felony theft by taking, and authorities have not released bond or court date information.
  • A police report alleges Fields-Thornton and Jared McGriff vacated a Marietta Street condo overnight on Oct. 28 and removed furniture and a television valued at about $11,000.
  • In the arrest footage, Fields-Thornton acknowledges she knew there was an active warrant for her arrest, according to Atlanta police.
