The Fulton County filing concerns furniture and a television allegedly removed from a rental property in October 2025, before Thornton’s airport arrest.
Former The Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton faces a felony theft charge for allegedly taking furniture and a television from a furnished Atlanta condo last year. The latest filing follows her November airport arrest and her response days later.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office filed a felony theft-by-taking charge, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Prosecutors allege Thornton and Jared McGriff removed furniture and a television worth at least $5,000 but less than $25,000 while moving out of the condo overnight on Oct. 28, 2025.
The property manager told Atlanta police that the furnishings belonged to the condo owner and were not supposed to be removed from the unit. Receipts submitted to investigators placed their estimated value at about $11,000, according to local reporting at the time.
Thornton was arrested last November at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after officers responding to a wanted-person call at the Customs and Border Protection office found an active larceny warrant. Atlanta police said she was taken into custody without incident. A judge later set her bond at $2,500.
Fulton County Jail records already identified the alleged offense as felony theft by taking at the time of Thornton’s arrest, CBS News Atlanta reported in November 2025.
In police body-camera footage from her arrest, Thornton asked to contact someone with access to a storage unit because she wanted to “put that furniture back.” The remarks were made months before the latest filing by the prosecutor.
Days later, Thornton shared birthday photos on Instagram and wrote about “staying grounded” during a difficult week. She did not directly address the allegation of theft in the post. Earlier that year, she had announced she was leaving The Real Housewives of Potomac after four seasons and moving to Atlanta.
Georgia law allows a term of imprisonment of 1 to 10 years for theft involving property valued at least $5,000 but less than $25,000, although judges may impose a misdemeanor sentence.
Thornton’s felony theft charge remains unresolved.
