Real Housewives of Potomac alum Mia Thornton was arrested in Atlanta on November 19, 2025, following an active warrant tied to an alleged larceny case involving furniture, according to authorities. The former Bravo personality was taken into custody at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and booked into the Fulton County Jail without incident, the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement.
Per a police report viewed by People, the warrant stems from a complaint filed after items were allegedly removed from a furnished condo unit Thornton had been renting. The reported value of the missing property is approximately $11,000.
Mia Thornton Arrest Details Explained
Atlanta police confirmed that officers encountered Thornton at the airport on November 19 and arrested her on an active warrant “related to a larceny involving an alleged furniture theft.” She was subsequently transported and processed at the Fulton County Jail.
According to the report, a property management company contacted police on behalf of the condo owner after items were allegedly taken from the residence “in the middle of the night” on October 28. The former landlord also told authorities that “the tenants also took all of the furniture which was in the unit prior to their move in as well as the TV which was on the wall.”
The inventory of allegedly missing items and the estimated total—about $11,000—were included in the filing. Investigators sought the warrant following the complaint, which ultimately led to Thornton’s airport arrest. As of publication, no additional details about potential court dates or legal representation were provided in the publicly available documents.
Timeline And What Comes Next
The incident outlined in the police report dates to October 28, when the property manager says they discovered furniture and a wall-mounted television missing from the unit. Weeks later, on November 19, officers arrested Thornton after encountering her at Atlanta’s main airport and confirmed her booking at the county jail.
At this stage, the case remains an allegation. An arrest is not a conviction, and the facts will be determined through the legal process. Any charges connected to the reported larceny will proceed through Fulton County’s courts, where filings and hearing dates typically become public record. The available reports do not include a plea or a formal statement from Thornton regarding the arrest.
The Atlanta Police Department’s statement and the property manager’s assertions comprise the core of what’s been shared publicly so far. Additional updates are likely as the case advances and if court documents or representatives provide further information.
Who Is Mia Thornton? RHOP Tenure And Move To Atlanta
Mia Thornton joined The Real Housewives of Potomac in season 6 and remained part of the ensemble through the end of season 9. During her time on the Bravo series, Thornton became known to viewers for her business-driven persona and frank approach to cast dynamics, helping shape several of the show’s major storylines during her run.
In April 2025, Thornton announced her departure from RHOP and shared that she and her family would be relocating to Atlanta. “With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season.”
Reflecting on her time with the franchise, Thornton called the experience an “unforgettable journey” marked by “growth, lessons and so many incredible memories.” She also thanked the team behind the show, writing, “I want to thank Truly Original, Bravo, NBCUniversal and Andy Cohen for believing in me and giving me the space to share my story.” Addressing her fellow cast members and the audience, she added, “To my castmates: thank you for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments. And to the amazing fans, your love and support has meant everything to me.”
Thornton closed her message by looking ahead to new opportunities beyond reality TV. “This next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities, and I can’t wait to take you all along for the ride. Big things are coming…”
Post-RHOP Ventures
Outside of television, Thornton is the CEO of The House of Miamor, a business platform that, according to its website, offers a step-by-step guide to pursuing business ownership and financial independence through franchising. The Atlanta relocation appeared to align with her focus on expanding entrepreneurial endeavors and family life away from the day-to-day demands of a national reality series.
Though Thornton has been largely out of the Bravo spotlight since her exit, interest in her post-RHOP chapter has remained high among fans of the franchise. The arrest places renewed attention on her life after the show, but the final word on the case will rest with the courts as the alleged larceny claim moves forward.
Thornton has not issued a public statement in the materials referenced here regarding the arrest. Should additional details or official comments emerge, they will further clarify the status of the investigation and the next steps in the legal process.
