"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Shocker 2015 — Kim Richards has been arrested again on Sunday. According to the reports, the 50-year-old reality television star has been arrested for allegedly shoplifting from a Target store in Van Nuys.
Just before 4 p.m. on Sunday, Kim Richards was arrested and taken to Van Nuys jail, where she was detained on a shoplifting charge, Los Angeles Police Department officer Mike Lopez revealed. As per CBS Los Angeles, she was released before 2 p.m. on Monday after paying the $5,000 bail.
Kim Richards' arrest came after the authorities stopped her outside a Target store with allegedly stolen items in her cart, NBC News noted. The police said that the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star stole $600 worth of items from a Target store near her home in San Fernando Valley. Security found her taking several items and placed her under citizen's arrest until the police arrived on the premises.
Moreover, the mug shot of Kim Richards was not provided by the police and the case will be turned over to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office and prosecutors will determine whether to press charges, E! News has learned.
The arrest marked Kim Richards' second this year. According to People, the former child actress has struggled with sobriety and spent time in rehab twice this year. In April, she was arrested at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and was charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer.
Kim Richards, who recently pleaded not guilty to charges from her run-in with the law in April, has found herself on the wrong side of the law again and spent the night in jail. Daily Mail reported that the incident came shortly after claims emerged that Richards fled the Malibu rehab facility where she was being treated for her addiction to alcohol in the middle of the night.
In other news, Kim Richards recently moved out of her upscale L.A. rental home because she reportedly could no longer afford it since she was fired from "Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills."
"Kim is upbeat, but uncertain about her future," a source said. "But she needs to find her own place to live soon. Financially, she's stressed. Without her 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' salary, she's going to have to figure something out. There have been small roles here and there, but she needs money."
