#MUGSHOT Mania: #BUSTED! #EricaBanks ARRESTED on drug distribution charges! [details]

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star and rapper Erica Banks was arrested on drug distribution charges after being pulled over in a stolen car, where police found ecstasy pills and multiple bags of marijuana!

The ‘Buss It’ rapper has been BUSTED and charged with possession of a Schedule or II controlled substance with intent to distribute, according to booking information from the DeKalb County Jail.

A source told Channel 2’s Tyisha Fernandes Breaux was arrested during a traffic stop on Buford Highway.

Brookhaven police confirmed that 27-year-old Erica Breaux (also known as rapper Erica Banks) was taken into custody Monday after officers stopped a vehicle displaying a tinted tag cover, which is illegal under Georgia law. The vehicle also had a dealer tag affixed to the rear, prompting officers to run it through state databases. According to police, the car had been reported stolen by Atlanta police.

Officers reportedly ordered Breaux and the driver, 25-year-old Amani Dirton of Simpsonville, South Carolina, out of the vehicle. Police say an inventory search revealed suspected MDMA inside Breaux’s purse along with marijuana packaged for distribution inside the vehicle.

Breaux was charged with felony possession with intent to distribute MDMA and felony possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Dirton was charged with felony theft by receiving a stolen vehicle, felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and multiple misdemeanor traffic violations.

Breaux, who is known for hits like “Buss It” and “Toot That,” first appeared on season 11 of “Love & Hop Hop Atlanta” in 2023. 

This isn’t the first time Breaux has been arrested in metro Atlanta.

The backstory:

In August, she was busted for having a gun inside of her Louis Vuitton bag, which she placed on the conveyor belt for an x-ray machine, at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

A police officer ran a check on the gun and discovered that it came back as stolen in 2018 out of Greensville, South Carolina.

Banks informed the police that the gun belonged to her “security,” but did not give them a name. She was booked into the Clayton County Jail and later released.
