Luann de Lesseps Arrested in Palm Beach
Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps was arrested in the early hours of Christmas Eve in Palm Beach.
The 52-year-old was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer or firefighter, disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest with violence, and crimes against a person, the Palm Beach Post reports. Four of de Lesseps's five charges are felonies.
She was booked taken to Palm Beach County Jail at 1:25 a.m. after reportedly telling people prior to her arrest, "I’m going to kill you all," the state’s attorney said. She also allegedly slammed a door and kicked at least one police officer.
De Lesseps was released without bond after she appeared before Judge Ted Booras, who said, "I don’t think it would be that hard to find you." Booras suggested she hire a criminal defense attorney in Palm Beach instead of ignoring the charges.
Booras also advised de Lesseps not to incriminate herself when he said she might have a drinking problem. "Don’t say anything," he told her, according to to the Post. She is due back in court on January 25.
De Lesseps held onto the title of Countess after her 2009 divorce from French Count Alexandre de Lesseps until she married Tom D’Agostino, Jr. in Palm Beach last New Year's Eve. The two divorced earlier this year.
