Reality Star Diamond Tankard Charged in Walmart Attack

Diamond Tankard, a 21-year-old former child star of Bravo's 'Thicker Than Water' and granddaughter of music producer and pastor Ben Tankard, was arrested in Nashville after allegedly attacking a woman at a Walmart with a sock filled with rocks. The incident occurred at a self-checkout station, where Tankard reportedly approached the victim from behind, grabbed her hair, and struck her, causing a laceration above the victim's left eye. She then stole the victim's $1,500 iPhone and $900 Louis Vuitton handbag. Security footage from Walmart confirmed the attack, leading to Tankard's identification and arrest. Tankard was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and theft of property, and later released on a $25,000 bond. She also faces a previous charge of attempted first-degree murder for allegedly hitting a woman with her vehicle in November 2024.
