A former reality star has been accused of attacking a Walmart shopper at a self-checkout with a sock filled with rocks before stealing her phone and designer handbag.

Diamond Tankard rose to fame in 2013 when the granddaughter of NBA athlete-turned-gospel jazz musician Ben Tankard appeared in Bravo TV’sThicker Than Water.

More than a decade later, the 21 year-old of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has been arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault and property theft using a deadly weapon.

Officers from the Metro Nashville Police Department responded to a call at the Walmart Supercenter on 3035 Hamilton Church Road on Friday, where they found a woman with a laceration above her left eye.

The victim told investigators that she was using the self-checkout when Tankard allegedly grabbed her from behind and pulled her hair.

Tankard then allegedly used a sock filled with rocks to strike the woman in the face, the victim’s grandmother told WSMV 4 Nashville. The suspect is also accused of stealing the victim’s $1,500 iPhone 14 and a $900 Louis Vuitton handbag.

Walmart had provided authorities security footage of the incident, WSMV reports.

Tankard was bailed out of jail on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
