Love During Lockup Season 3 just aired last night, and introduced viewers to convicted felon Keith “Lil Mike” Collier and his wife, LaTisha Collier. Media Take Out confirmed that LaTisha owns her own accounting and tax preparation business, and Mike is locked up for selling crack cocaine.
The premiere episode had people wondering – what would an educated businesswoman see in a prison convict. Well, Media Take Out did a bit of digging, and she’s got quite a criminal history herself.
Media Take Out learned that a popular site called Starcasm compiled a list of all the criminal charges and arrests that LaTisha had … and what’s crazy is that she’s been locked up (for crimes such as felony fraudulent practice and felony theft) more times than her inmate husband.
Here are just a few of her alleged crimes:
November 2022: LaTisha Collier was charged with interference with official acts and false report to a public entity.
According to the arresting officer’s affidavit, LaTisha called 911 to report the location of a suspect involved in a foot pursuit. She stated the suspect was hiding out in her back yard.
But when officers arrived on the scene and located LaTisha. She denied making the 911 call, despite being in possession of the phone that dialed 911.
DECEMBER 2020 – LaTisha Collier was charged with harassment of a public official and disorderly conduct — fighting or violent behavior.
Police claim that LaTisha was observed by officers in a physical altercation with multiple other individuals in the parking lot of the business. The defendant was also identified by witnesses as being involved in the fight.
JULY 2019 – LaTisha Collier was charged with driving while barred and driving with a denied or revoked license.
