This ‘Mob Wives’ Star Was Arrested For Having Drugs And Guns On Her
Former "Mob Wives" star Drita D’Avanzo and her husband Lee were arrested Thursday night at their Staten Island home during a raid performed by the New York Police Department. According to TMZ, the couple was charged for having drugs and guns on them.
It was reported that during the raid, cops found two loaded guns. Both were Smith & Wessen’s including a 9mm and a 38 caliber. On top of that, authorities also reportedly located 120 hydrocodone/acetaminophen pills, 22 Xanax pills, and a "large amount" of marijuana.
Drita and Lee were taken into custody on multiple charges including criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal possession of drug paraphernalia.
TMZ added that one of their children was present during the raid resulting in the couple being charged with one count of acting in a manner injurious to a child.
Drita, 43, appeared on VH1’s “Mob Wives” for six seasons from 2011 to 2016. The show followed “women at a crossroads, struggling to establish their own identities and carry on while their loved ones do time for mob-related activities," according to the show’s description.
As the show synopsis hints, this isn't the first time Lee has had a run-in with the law. Heavy reported in 2014 that Lee was in prison when the show premiered after being indicted for "bank robberies and alleged drug deals."
Fans of Drita have been tweeting their support for the “Mob Wives” star since her arrest.
“Free my girl @DritaDavanzo she holds it down for her fam and to do this right before the holidays is [expletive],” one fan said in response to TMZ's article.
“Keep your head up @DritaDavanzo we love you,” another fan said.
