This is not the first time Bryson has found himself in legal trouble. He was arrested for driving under the influence in 2011, and had another run-in with the law in 2012 for driving with a suspended license.
That same year, Bryson was arrested for allegedly stealing razors from Walmart. The incident was covered onRHOAat the time, with NeNe explaining why she decided not to bail her son out. “He’s had a really easy life, so now I’m gonna show him what a hard life is,” she said on the episode. “He’s gonna stay in jail, I’m not getting him out, and he can figure it out from behind bars.”
Later, in 2015,Bryson was arrested at McDonald’sin Georgia, where he was among a group police alleged had planned to print counterfeit checks. At the time, Bryson reportedly gave officers a false name.
