Ex-Destiny’s Child member Farrah Franklin arrested after altercation with NFL’ers Da’Quan Bowers, Ricky Sapp

Remember back in 2000 when Beyonce’s former group Destiny’s Child switched members? Out with the old and in with two new members. One of those newbies was Farrah Franklin. Farrah only lasted in the group for 2.5 seconds -ok, five months, but still… Over the weekend, Franklin was arrested in South Carolina after Tampa Bay Buccs’ Da’Quan Bowers flew her out for the weekend and something went left.

According to the police report, NFL player Da’Quan Bowers flew Farrah to Myrtle Beach where he was vacationing with a friend –NFL player Ricky Sapp. When the trio returned from partying on Saturday night, it was apparent that Farrah was wasted, and she went nuts.

Sapp and Bowers both told police they thought Franklin had been doing drugs. Bowers told police he was suspicious of Franklin because she would go to the bathroom for extended periods of time.

Bowers and Sapp say they called cops after Franklin went nuts, screaming and slamming doors. They told police Franklin fled. Cops combed the neighborhood and eventually found Franklin laying down in a neighbor’s lawn.

Police described Franklin as “highly intoxicated” and “unsteady on her feet,” but she denied using drugs. She told police she had nowhere to go and planned on sleeping in the woods.

This isn’t Farrah’s first connection to athletes. Farrah became pretty hot on the Hollywood scene after her short stint with DC. It’s not Thursday, but his a little throwback history for you. Farrah also used to date former NBA players DeShawn Stevenson, Lamar Odom and Darius Miles.
