Letitia James’ ‘fugitive’ relative who lives in her Virginia home was arrested twice for assaulting cops: docs

NORFOLK, Virginia — New York’s top law enforcer is housing a cop-hating fugitive relative in her Virginia home, who was twice arrested for assaulting police officers, according to court documents.

State attorney general Latitia James’ grand-niece, Nakia Thompson, 36, is currently wanted in North Carolina for failing to complete the terms of her parole following a 2011 arrest in Winston-Salem.

In that case, she was charged with malicious conduct by a prisoner, a felony, along with assault of a government official and resisting a public officer, court records show.

Since 2020, Thompson has been living at a house owned by James in Norfolk, Virginia, which is now at the center of a criminal indictment against the AG.

Federal prosecutors accused James of lying on her mortgage application when she bought the home — claiming it was a second home that she would not rent out — in order to obtain a favorable rate.

Prosecutors say that James, however, has had paying tenants in the house.

Thompson told a federal grand jury in Virginia that she had been living at the house with her kids and that she was not paying rent to James, according to the New York Times.

Before moving into James’ Virginia home, Thompson had a lengthy rap sheet in Winston-Salem.

In 2006, she was charged with three counts of assault on a government official, as well as misdemeanor probation violation.

She also faced a larceny charge that same year.

In 2008, she was arrested for bond forfeiture over a previous case.

In February 2011, she was issued a citation for driving without a valid license and an improperly attached registration plate but failed to appear at an April hearing, and later had a disposition hearing in 2019.

Thompson was able to plead down the 2011 charges later that year, copping to assaulting a government official and resisting a public officer. She was sentenced to 60 days in prison.

The malicious conduct felony charge was dropped.

It comes after officials confirmed fugitive Thompson absconded from North Carolina when she and her three children crossed the state line into Virginia.

“Ms. Thompson is listed as an absconder for willfully avoiding supervision by her probation officer,” a spokesperson from the North Carolina Department of Corrections told The Post.

“She was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing. Due to the level of the offenses, the district attorney has designated this case non-extraditable,” they added.

“She faces arrest if located in North Carolina, and possible activation by the court of the suspended sentence.”
