Erica Mena, Love & Hip Hop Star, Arrested for Drug Possession
Erica Mena has been placed under arrest.
The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast member was taken into custody on Friday after police arrived on the scene in response to a domestic dispute.
According to TMZ, Mena and her boyfriend, Clifford Dixon, were both taken away by the cops after an argument got out of hand inside their Johns Creek, Georgia apartment.
Witnesses near the scene told authorities that Mena and Dixon had not only been arguing, but that the latter had kicked in a bedroom door in order to get to the former.
One of Erica and Cliff’s roommates even told police that she/he heard someone get slapped upstairs, although no one actually saw any physical abuse take place.
Cops did not report any signs of an altercation on either party, either.
This is to say, neither Mena nor Dixon had any marks on their bodies at the time of the arrest.
Dixon was arrested for criminal trespass because Mena told cops the property was in her name.
Meanwhile, Erica was arrested for possession of marijuana, despite having less than one ounce of her at the time of the arrest.
She has since made bail.
Mena returned to Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta last season.
Prior to coming on board, she was a staple on Love & Hip Hop: New York.
Other professional ventures for Mena include having written the books “Chronicles of a Confirmed Bachelorette” and “Underneath It All.”
In August of 2017, it was announced that Mena would compete in the first season of VH1’s Scared Famous, which premiered on October 23, 2017.
Mena was previously engaged to Bow Wow and wrote the following upon leaving the New York version of this Love & Hip Hop franchise:
I have fan base that now become my family! I can’t thank you all enough for following & riding this ride. You are all appreciated.
No matter what I’m always going to be Open and Real with you all. This chapter has ended but the real deal is the journey has just begun.
Four years ago became #MenaMonday.
I let the world in and it’s been a crazy ride since. I’ve always been open about who I am & my relationships just because I know my story was meant to be told. I’ve made many mistakes and I get judge[d] harshly.
Thank God I’m as tough and bold as I am because the truth is many are like me.
It’s unclear whether this arrest will impact Mena’s future on VH1.
We don’t mean that she’ll get fired for a little bit of weed, of course.
We mean she may very well get a raise!
Stay tuned to find out what transpires.

Offset Arrested for Gun Possession; How Much of His Baby"s Life Will He Miss?
You know, there are constantly storries about celebs getting secretly married. They sound fake … until we remember Cardi B marrying Offset in a secret ceremony and waiting like a year to tell the world.
Well, we wonder if Cardi might B having some second thoughts about that union … because Offset, the father of her child, was just arrested.
We hate to sound judgmental, but … why did he need to drive around with all of these guns?
TMZ reports that Offset was arrested on Friday. The arrest followed the vehicle being pulled over just outside of Atlanta.
We should note that, while TMZ reports that the Migos rapper was pulled over for tinted windows, CBS 46 reports that the vehicle was pulled over for an improper lane change.
Whatever the reason, officers discovered three firearms in the vehicle — alarming under any circumstances, but worse for Offset who is a convicted felon.
Offset now faces four charges, two of which are felonies.
The charges include possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a weapon during a crime, which are both felonies.
Offset is also charged with possession of marijuana (one ounce or less) and an improper lane change.
Offset is reportedly being held without bond.
It is probably important to note that Offset has a lengthy criminal history.
At only 26 years of age, he has posed for more than a dozen mugshots since he turned 18. He is currently serving 5 years of probation.
One would hope that a successful career as a hip hop artist and, more importantly, welcoming the birth of his daughter with Cardi B just two weeks ago would have discouraged him from further criminal activity.
Unfortunately, based upon the charges that have been filed against him, it does not appear that he has learned that lesson.
(That said, obviously the marijuana charge, like all marijuana charges, is bogus in that plants shouldn’t be illegal — and, though we don’t have all of the details, some say that a lane change should not land a guy behind bars)
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was pulled over with his bodyguard.
In addition to the three guns, he was in possession of $ 107,000 in cash.
That isn’t criminal and may be standard in the hip hop world, but it’s something that many police are trained to consider suspicious.
The traffic stop took place in Jonesboro, which is about 20 minutes or so outside of Atlanta.
The vehicle in question was a 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera.
Cardi B and Offset just welcomed the birth of their daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, earlier this month.
And … we might not love Wendy Williams, but we absolutely believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Months ago, Wendy Williams predicted that Cardi B would be raising her baby alone.
As heartbreaking as it sounds, a lot of fans cannot help but wonder if Wendy was right after all.
Being charged with two felonies and a couple of other charges while on probation is … not ideal. Especially when you have a rap sheet like Offset’s.
That said, Cardi B is a rising star, and Offset is no pauper, either.
It seems likely that his attorneys will be able to get the charges reduced, at the very least.
In fact, if it weren’t for his status as a felon on probation, we would predict that he wouldn’t serve a day in jail after bond is posted.
But he is a felon, he is on probation, and he’s being held without bond.
This situation may be familiar to Offset, but our hearts go out to Cardi and to their daughter.

Lenny Dykstra Arrested For Assault, Possession, Being Lenny Dykstra
Perhaps you haven’t been keeping up on the post-retirement antics of former baseball semi-great Lenny “Nails” Dykstra.
So allow us to fill you in with the breathless glee of someone bringing you up to speed on the world’s most bonkers reality show.
Basically, imagine a form of batsh-t behavior and ya boy Lenny D has done it twice and bragged about it on social media.
Random feud with Lena Dunham?
Did it and then tried to have sex with her.
Accusing Charlie Sheen of murder?
You better believe it happened and that every hard drug under the sun was involved.
That last story left us with the impression that the 55-year-old chewing tabacky enthusiast’s most depraved days were behind him.
But just as we were beginning to give up hope, Nails went ahead and out-Nailsed himself.
That’s Lenny’s latest mug shot, taken Wednesday after he was investigated for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver:
Dykstra was eventually charged with making terroristic threats, as well as possession of cocaine, marijuana, and MDMA.
So either police searched him, or they just casually asked, “What’s in ya pockets today, Lenny?” as soon as they arrived on the scene.
The driver told police that Dykstra put a gun to his head, but no weapon was recovered at the scene.
Dykstra denied the allegations in the sort of profanity-laced tirade that appears to be his sole means of communication:
“The guy went nuclear on me,” he told the New York Daily News.
“He f–king kidnapped me and almost killed me going 100 mph. He locked me in his f–king car, and he wouldn’t let me out.”
Hilariously, Dykstra later brushed off the charges on Twitter by quoting Taylor Swift:
“But I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop moving. It’s like I got this music in my mind, sayin’ gonna be alright,” he wrote.
This latest arrest, of course, is far from Dykstra’s first brush with the law.
He was sentenced to six and a half months in federal prison in December 2012 after pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud, concealment of assets and money laundering.
That same year, Dykstra was sentenced to three years behind bars after pleading no contest to three counts of grand theft auto and filing a false police statement.
The prison sentences ran concurrently and Dykstra was released in June of 2013.
Sadly, he went right back to being Lenny Dykstra.
No word yet on whether or not Dykstra is facing more prison time, but we’ll keep you posted as more ridiculous details emerge.
