Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Peter Thomas has once again found himself in legal trouble. The reality TV personality was arrested in the Atlanta area for DUI, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry.
Details surrounding Thomas’ arrest are still shrouded in mystery, leaving fans and media outlets speculating about the circumstances that led to his detainment. What we do know is that Thomas was taken into custody approximately 40 minutes after the incident, at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
The booking sheet obtained by ET reveals that Thomas was arrested on several misdemeanors, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with expired tags, driving without a license, no proof of insurance, failure to maintain lane, and violation of a traffic control device. These charges paint a troubling picture of Thomas’ actions on that fateful day.
Upon his release, Thomas was required to pay bail, which was set at just under $3,000. However, the legal consequences don’t end there. Judge Che Karega II imposed several restrictions on Thomas as part of his release conditions. These include abstaining from alcohol consumption, marijuana, and other cannabis products or drugs. Additionally, Thomas must undergo random alcohol and drug tests and is prohibited from owning any firearms. The court also requires him to provide a seven-day notice if he plans to change his residence.
This isn’t the first time Thomas has faced legal issues. In 2019, he was arrested in Miami for fraud, where he faced accusations of writing fake checks. Despite maintaining his innocence at the time, Thomas now finds himself entangled in yet another legal battle.
Thomas rose to fame as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, where he appeared alongside his then-girlfriend Cynthia Bailey. Their relationship played out on screen, with viewers witnessing their proposal and subsequent wedding. However, their journey on the reality series came to an end in season 9, as their marriage crumbled and they headed for divorce.
Known for his ventures in the restaurant industry, Thomas owns Bar One locations in Miami, Florida, and Baltimore, Maryland, as well as Sports One bar in Charlotte, North Carolina. His business ventures have brought him both success and controversy, with legal issues seemingly following him wherever he goes.
As news of Thomas’ arrest spreads, fans and critics alike are left wondering about his future. Will he be able to overcome these legal challenges and rebuild his life? Only time will tell. ET has reached out to Thomas for comment, but as of now, he has remained silent on the matter.
