Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Erica Banks is in the headlines due to a recent arrest. According to TMZ, Erica was arrested last Monday in Brookhaven, GA. Erica was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over due to the license plate not being visible. An officer noticed that a tinted plate was covering the license plate. It is against the law for any material to cover a license plate in the state of Georgia.

Officers also noticed that the vehicle had dealer plates, which resulted in the plates being looked into and confirmation that Erica was riding in a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

After Erica and the driver/her girlfriend, Amani Dirton, were ordered to step outside the car, officers conducted a search. Several ecstasy pills were found in Erica’s purse. Several packs of marijuana were found on Amani.

They were arrested and booked into the DeKalb County Jail. Erica was charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance with intent to distribute. Amani was charged with felony theft by receiving a stolen vehicle, felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Erica was also arrested in Metro Atlanta back in August after a gun was discovered in her bag at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Amani has appeared on LHHATL with Erica in past episodes. On the show, she went by the name Dro.
