Big Brother Star Arrested for Tax Theft in Florida

News summary

Memphis Garrett, known for his appearance on 'Big Brother' and as a restaurateur, was arrested in Florida on May 15 for allegedly failing to remit over $50,000 in state sales taxes through his businesses, Poke House Lauderdale and No Man's Land Miami LLC, between November 2022 and October 2024. Authorities officially charge him with theft of state funds totaling $55,366.77, though some reports suggest the unpaid taxes may exceed $100,000. He faces a felony charge with a bond set at $15,000, which remains unpaid. Garrett's arrest coincides with his recent divorce filing from fellow 'Big Brother' alum Christmas Abbott, a split involving allegations of domestic violence and public requests for privacy. Garrett's representatives have not issued a public comment. The case has attracted significant media attention due to his reality TV background and the alleged tax fraud.
