As a result, he was charged with assaulting a government official, second-degree trespassing, resisting a public officer, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct, the Wave County Criminal Court confirmed to Radar.
Bell's lived with Thore since 2015 and has been a regular character on the show. He was ultimately convicted of disorderly conduct and given a 45-day probation and $380 fine.
Thore seems to have a habit of attracting bad boys. Radar previously reported that her ex-boyfriend Lennie Alehat also had a criminal history, including a DWI for being caught driving with a blood alcohol level over three times the legal limit.
