NeNe Leakes Caught Writing Bad Checks?


Earlier this week mainstream media dug up an old mugshot and a theft of services conviction from 1992 on Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes  [click here if you missed that].

Turns out NeNe has a few more arrests up her sleeve...

From Star Magazine
According to Athens-Clarke County Superior Court document obtained by Star, [NeNe Leakes] was arrested and charged in August 1992 with three felony and one misdemeanor counts of  “theft of services” from the phone company. Over the previous 16 months “with deception and intent to avoid payment,” she set up four different accounts under different names and fake social security numbers.
Under a plea agreement, NeNe pled guilty to all four counts in December 1992, was put on two years’ probation and was ordered to repay $2,650. However she was arrested three times over the following two years for probation violations, including not reporting to her probation officer and missing restitution payments.
NeNe was discharged from probation in December 1994 – but it apparently wasn’t her last brush with the law.
According to the Athens-Clarke County Magistrate Court records, just seven days apart in March 1995, NeNe issued bad checks at local Kroger and Winn-Dixie supermarkets. A warrant was issued for her arrest; the Sheriff picked her up that July, after which she repaid the court in full.
