According to TMZ, local police were called to investigate the disturbance.

She’s now in custody with bail set at $250.

Franklin’s short-lived career with Destiny’s Child started in 1999, when she was hired as an extra for the “Bills, Bills, Bills” music video. Back in 2014, she was arrested in SC for disorderly conduct.

The Los Angeles native was named an official member of Destiny’s Child in 2000, joining at the same time as Michelle Williams. To this day there are disputes as to what happened between Franklin and the group.

In July 2014 the star faced a similar charge after she was found passed out in someone’s garden. She has been charged with public intoxication and possession of marijuana.

She just released a solo album earlier this year. When authorities arrived, she claimed she wasn’t ready to leave and said, “These n—s won’t leave me alone”.
