Real Housewives of Orange County alum Lynne Curtin’s daughter, Alexa Curtin, recently faced legal troubles, serving three days in jail related to a methamphetamine possession charge.
According to records obtained by Us Weekly, Alexa, 32, was booked on June 3 following an outstanding warrant. After being appointed a public defender, she pleaded guilty to all counts and was ordered by the court to serve six days in Orange County Jail, with credit for time served.
Alexa Curtin’s sentencing stems from an incident with police on August 8, 2022. Prosecutors charged her with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and possession of paraphernalia, specifically “an opium pipe or device or paraphernalia used for unlawfully injecting or smoking a controlled substance.” Notably, Alexa failed to appear at multiple court hearings in December 2022 and August 2023, prompting the court to issue a warrant for her arrest with bail set at $10,000.
In January 2024, the Garden Grove Police Department served the warrant but did not arrest Alexa at that time. She again failed to appear at a March 2024 hearing, leading to another bench warrant. Court records show that on April 7, 2024, Alexa was pulled over for driving with an expired registration. The ticket noted that she did not have a home address and cited her for two outstanding warrants, ordering her to appear in court. Despite the court setting an arraignment for June 11, 2024, Alexa did not attend.
It wasn’t until last month that the Anaheim Police Department served her the latest warrant, leading to her serving jail time and being ordered to pay more than $200 in fines.
Alexa’s legal issues are not new. She has a “long history of run-ins with law enforcement,” including charges in 2019 for “possession of controlled substance paraphernalia, petty theft, vandalism, and driving under the influence.” At that time, she pleaded not guilty. Earlier, in 2017, Alexa was awarded $2 million in a lawsuit alleging sexual assault by an Orange County sheriff, though the defendants denied all allegations.
Back in 2021, Alexa had been sentenced to 68 days in jail after the 28-year-old pleaded guilty to multiple charges.
