AceShowbiz - Earl Thomas' wife Nina Thomas breaks her silence after she was reportedly arrested for holding Earl at gunpoint. She took to her Instagram account to share a press release, claiming that she was "wrongfully arrested," before quickly deleted it. However, she was not quick enough as some people had have it screencaptured.
In the press release, Nina's attorney Jonathan Goins said that Nina "was wrongfully arrested on the night of April 13, 2020, for the charge of Burglary of a Habitation with the Intent to Commit Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon - Family Violence. We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question. We have begun working with the Travis County District Attorney's Office to ensure that these charges do not stick and Mrs. Thomas's pristine name is cleared."
It was also said they're seeking "justice and redress for Nina Thomas as well as solace for her reputation where the Austin Police Department has tarnished it in failing to use effective crisis management communication skills and tactics. Instead, they mistreated Nina failed to properly investigate the matter, and Austin Police treated her like a criminal from the time that they arrived on scene."
"These accusations have left Nina distraught but not broken," Groins added. "I represent her today because I admire her efforts and seek to be a voice for the falsely accused and the criminally mistreatedly."
Captioning the press release, Nina wrote, "things happen... just asking for prayers and privacy at this time."
Previous reports suggested that Nina held the Baltimore Ravens safety at gunpoint when she confronted him about his infidelity at an Airbnb rental in Austin, Texas. Court documents detailed that Earl left his family home after an argument with Nina about his drinking. She, along with two friends, later found him naked in bed with other women, prompting her to pull out Earl's 9mm Berreta to "scare him."
When putting the gun on Earl's head, Nina claimed that she "took out the magazine" and thought that it "could not fire." Police, however, noted that Nina was "unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber." According to police, a video from the incident showed "Nina's finger was on the trigger and the safety is disengaged."
Police further detailed that when cops arrived at the scene, Nina was seen wielding a knife while chasing shirtless Earl, who had a pistol in his hand, around a vehicle. Nina and her friends were subsequently arrested. She, in particular, got booked for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was later released from custody.
