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.”
