The home of Prichard Water Board director Nia Malika Bradley in Mobile was raided by police on Friday afternoon, two days after she turned herself in, WPMI-TV reported. Her husband, Anthony Bradley, was arrested during the operation, according to AL.com.
Nia Bradley is accused of spending more than $200,000 on personal purchases on company credit cards, the website reported. She was charged with robbery aggravated by deception and theft of stolen property in the first degree, according to online booking records from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.
Anthony Bradley III has been charged with receiving stolen property in the first degree, Capt. Paul Burch of the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office told WPMI.
Items taken from the Bradleys’ home included dozens of Louis Vuitton bags, Gucci bags, handbags and dozens of shoes including Nike, Adidas and Puma brands, WPMI and WKRG-TV reported. Police also confiscated a safe, furniture and at least two large plasma televisions, according to WPMI.
Several weapons were also seized, including handguns, shotguns and assault rifles, the broadcaster reported.
Some of the company’s credit card charges included trips to New York and Chicago, AL.com reported.
On Friday morning, Mobile County prosecutors argued that Nia Bradley should be held without bond because authorities found a newly issued passport in her home, AL.com reported.
“It’s incredulous,” Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich said, according to WPMI. “It’s incredulous. And the brazenness of her and the other people we find out who are involved in this, it’s just brazen. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
A judge has set no bail and Nia Bradley will remain in jail, the television network reported. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 7.
