What Reality Star Has An Arrest Warrant - Reason Skipping Prison Sentence

.

According to TMZ, Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Apollo Nida (who was convicted of money laundering and check fraud this summer) was supposed to turn himself in to authorities today at noon to begin an eight-year prison sentence.

But instead, he apparently went home to confront his wife, Phaedra Parks, forcing his way into the house to berate her for changing the locks and failing to deposit money into his prison bank account.

A source tells Us Weekly, "It was the most bizarre thing. Everyone thought he was already at jail this morning. He drove himself to jail and was supposed to be there by noon. So Bravo came over to her house to start filming her coming home and all that stuff. The whole Bravo crew saw it – it's all on tape. Everyone was shocked."

Parks' husband verbally attacked her from their driveway, shouting, "You didn't come to my hearing!"

Nida — who previously served six years in prison for auto loan fraud — was "running around the house like a lunatic for about 20 minutes. He was psychotic, not even making sense."

Nida was sentenced this summer after pleading guilty to charges that he created a fake collections company as a front for identity theft. He reportedly used his victims' information to secure fraudulent auto loans, and also admitted to stealing US Treasury checks and Delta Airlines retirement checks.

And although the caught-on-film aspect sounds like a bizarre publicity stunt, an Access Atlanta report indicates the TV-worthy drama may be for real: as of 9:30 pm, Nida is still listed as "not in custody" on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. CNN says the U.S. Marshals Service hasn't commented on the matter.
