Theodora Richards, the daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, was arrested Tuesday night in Manhattan after police observed her allegedly scrawling on the wall of a SoHo convent — and later discovered she was carrying illegal drugs, authorities said.
Richards, 25, who also models and is an art student, was seen writing the message “T Heart A” with a red acrylic paint marker on a white plaster wall of a building containing St. Anthony’s Convent on Prince Street, a law enforcement official said.
When the approached by plain clothes Anti-Crime Unit officers, Richards allegedly told them the initials stood for Theodora and Alexandra, her younger sister, the official said.
The officers searched Richards and found white pills police believe to be hydrocodine and a small amount of marijuana. According to the official, Richards said she bought the pills from a dealer thinking it was Xanax.
The official said Richards told the officers: “I hope I don’t get in trouble for this,” according to the arrest report.
She was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, making graffiti and possession of a graffiti-making instrument, authorities said. She was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear if she had retained an attorney.
