Katina Powell indicted on theft charges

Katina Powell has been indicted by a grand jury on criminal possession of a forged instrument and theft by deception charges.

According to the arrest citation, Powell is alleged to have stolen blank checks totaling $2,900 and attempting to cash them at a liquor store. The reported victim, Thomas Tyre, has since dropped the charges.

“I want her in my life,” Tyre told the Courier Journal in May. “I’m sad about what happened.”

The arrest occurred on May 17, where she was seen wearing a Louisville football shirt in her mugshot.

Powell was evicted from her home back in April after her daughter reportedly pulled a gun on a man in front of their home back in January.
