More Markle mayhem in States
THE Duchess of Sussex is facing fresh embarrassment at the hands of her American family.
Meghan Markle’s future sister-in-law Darlene Blount was arrested at the weekend in the latest of a string of violent incidents.
And last night police mugshots of Miss Blount – bride to be of the duchess’s half-brother Thomas Markle Jr – were again making world news.
Miss Blount, 37, was arrested in Grants Pass, Oregon, on Friday on a charge of assault, it was reported.
Few details are known about the incident, but a source told MailOnline: “There was a domestic violence call at the home of Thomas Markle (Jr) and Darlene Blount. Darlene was arrested on assault charges.”
She was released on bail on Saturday, a deputy at Josephine County Jail said.
It is the latest unfortunate incident involving Meghan’s half-brother. Police were called to the home of Markle and his fiancee on New Year’s Eve. On that occasion, Miss Blount told the 911 operator her 51-year-old boyfriend was being “really **** ing weird” and was beating himself up.
Miss Blount said Markle had been drinking.
