Autria Godfrey Was Arrested in 2017
Godfrey was arrested in February 2017. She was accused of public drunkenness and trespassing. According to court records in Arlington County, the incidents occurred after a reported fight in a bar.
It’s unclear what went on at the local bar that night, but one witness said Godfrey was asked to leave and then she came back. When police arrived to try to convince her to go again, she “started jawing” at them, according to the witness.
The girls were asked to leave the event because they were creating fights, and they were told not to return. However, Autria came back, and she was taken into custody right away, with the suggestion that she sleep off the drink in the cell.
Shamia Holoway, the director of community relations at WJLA, said when asked for comment that the station would not address any private issues.
Despite being detained, she was not formally charged. She had a hearing scheduled for May 2017, and it was anticipated that she would ask to have the incident removed from her permanent record.
