Mia Thornton’s Felony Warrant: What Furniture Was Allegedly Taken?

You might have heard the buzz, but now we’ve got the details! “Real Housewives of Potomac” fans were definitely surprised by Mia Thornton’s recent arrest. But what exactly is she accused of taking? A recently unsealed felony warrant is shedding light on the alleged furniture theft from an Atlanta condo, and it’s quite the list!

The Allegations: A Condo’s Worth of Furniture Gone

According to a felony warrant obtained by FOX 5 Atlanta, Mia Thornton, along with co-tenant Jared McGriff, is accused of removing a significant amount of high-value furnishings from a fully furnished condo they were renting. The property, located in the 700 block of West Marietta Street NW, Unit 1805, had a lease agreement that explicitly stated all items must remain within the unit.

Investigators believe the duo moved out in the dead of night on October 28th. The missing items weren’t just a few small things; the warrant details a substantial list of furniture and decor that allegedly vanished.

What Exactly is Missing?

• A television
• A dining room table
• Seven dining chairs
• Two accent tables
• A sectional couch
• A floor lamp
• Two patio chairs
• A patio table
• The fireplace remote

Yes, you read that right – even the fireplace remote is on the list! Property management provided police with receipts, move-in photos, and valuation documents. These documents reportedly show that the total value of the missing items amounts to a hefty $11,022.15.

The Condo Owner and the Arrest

The condo owner, who resides overseas, was alerted to the situation by their property manager and subsequently filed a police report on November 6th. After reviewing the evidence, Atlanta Police issued a felony Theft by Taking warrant. Thornton was apprehended on Wednesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Under Georgia law, Theft by Taking is elevated to a felony when the value of the stolen property exceeds $1,500, which explains the serious nature of the charges. Thornton is slated to appear in Fulton County court on Thursday morning. It remains to be seen if McGriff will also face charges.

The Condo’s Rental Value

For context, this spacious 2,000-square-foot unit boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Listings indicate that a condo of this size and caliber in that area could rent for approximately $7,000 per month. That’s a significant rental value, making the alleged theft of its contents even more impactful.
