Erica Mena Apparently, when she was arrested last weekend in Atlanta, she wasn’t just kicking and screaming, she was also reportedly biting… not to mention dropping fake baby news, police and her lawyer say.
The “Love & Hip Hop” star was one of them four people arrested Friday at a lounge there in town after police said when they were asked to leave by security, all hell broke loose — and according to the police report obtained by TMZ, it was much uglier than what we all saw.

The documentary lays out what APD officers say happened – and one of them describes a chaotic fight that he says he tried to break up… and says EM was in the middle of it.
According to the police officer, Erica fought like crazy…and even brutalized security guards when they tried to take her out of the facility. During the scuffle, the officer said one of the guards told him Erica bit his forearm… and she allegedly kicked another in the face!
The officer claims he also got a few licks from Erica… but after a lot of physical effort, he finally managed to get her under control.
Another interesting tidbit: The officer in this report says Erica made it clear that she was pregnant. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop her from getting caught… and her lawyer tells us she was just being deceptive.
Erica’s lawyer, Drew Findlingtells TMZ… “On behalf of Erica Mena (who is not pregnant), we will immediately begin investigating the events of August 25, 2023. “It is clear that this was an incident between citizens, private security guards and off-duty police officers who were not properly handled or de-escalated.”
He continued: “We know this because the officer readily admits in his report that he punched a private citizen four or five times in the face and also used unnecessary force against Erica. While Erica regrets some of the circumstances of that night, “It is also important to understand the context and details of the incident so that we can do our due diligence and investigate accordingly.”
As for the others who were sent to prison – including Bambi Richardson And Zellswagplus a mutual friend of theirs – APD says they were all trying to stop officers from detaining Erica the entire time…which explains why they were charged with misdemeanor obstruction.
It’s still unclear what started the whole thing… but it certainly ended in chaos.
