New details are emerging about Kim Richards’ arrest this week, during which she was allegedly caught stealing $600 worth of items from Target.
As we previously reported, she spent the night in jail on Sunday after being caught by authorities at a Van Nuys, California location. She was released on $5,000 bail on Monday.
Entertainment Tonight reports the items actual totaled closer to $1,000 and they were mainly toys. She was loading three carts’ worth of items into her car, however, only paid for some of the items.
She was caught by a Target lost prevention officer and later booked at the nearby Valley Jail.
Richards’ ex-husband, Monty, has said he’s in “complete shock” over her arrest and insisted there has to be some sort of “misunderstanding.”
“I couldn't imagine Kim stealing or shoplifting anything. She is a giver," he said. "I am in complete shock. Guaranteed this must be some kind of mistake, and the facts will come out soon. She was arrested for shoplifting toys in a cart, but this was a clear misunderstanding. This was not alcohol or drug related."
