‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ Cast Member Erica Banks Arrested on Drug Charge After Brookhaven Traffic Stop

DeKalb County booking records list Erica Scharmane Breaux, known as Erica Banks, on a charge of possessing a Schedule II controlled substance with intent to distribute. Brookhaven police say an officer stopped the car on Buford Highway after noticing a tinted cover over the license plate and dealer tags not authorized for road use. After running the tags, officers learned the vehicle was reported stolen in Atlanta and removed Banks and the driver before conducting searches. Police reported finding several MDMA pills in Banks’ purse and several packets of marijuana on the driver, who faces additional theft and plate-display charges. Both were booked into the DeKalb County Jail and later released, with no bond information publicly disclosed; some outlets have described the drug charge as involving a Schedule I or II substance, and media have requested further details.
