CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A former standup comedian who once appeared on MTV with Nick Cannon and Snoop Dogg was arrested while trying to board a commercial aircraft on St. Thomas.
Aarona Browning-Lopez, 37, of New York, was charged with being a fugitive from justice and was taken into custody pursuant to a warrant from the state of Florida, according to Superior Court documents.
Browning-Lopez was taken into official custody at the Cyril E. King Airport while trying to board a flight to Virginia with a layover in Atlanta, court records indicate.
The former paid entertainer said in court testimony that she has been treated “with respect” while in detention in a Charlotte Amalie jail.
In April of this year, Browning-Lopez was arrested in Hawaii and found guilty by a judge of breaking the state’s COVID-19 emergency order.
According to court documents, Browning-Lopez was taken directly from jail to the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport to board a flight back to Los Angeles. Browning-Lopez is not allowed to return to Hawaii as long as Governor David Ige’s coronavirus regulation order is in place.
The Hawaii Police Department arrested Browning-Lopez on April 16 in Kalihi, Oahu.
Browning-Lopez documented her trip to Hawaii on social media. Her posts showed she avoided the mandatory 14-day quarantine for visitors by being out in Waikiki, Waimanalo, and Kalihi.
The one-time entertainer was arrested in Miami’s Dade County in April of 2019 and charged with two counts of resisting arrest by violence to a police officer, one count of battery and one count of using a false name, Miami police records said.
Browning-Lopez allegedly told Miami-Dade police that her name was: “Tracey Jackson.” She was extradited from St. Thomas to face resisting arrest and other charges in Florida.
Lately, Browning-Lopez has been accused of stalking rapper 50 Cent. The rapper has allegedly taken out a restraining order on the erratic former comedian.
