ARRESTED: ‘Thicker Than Water’ Reality Star Brooklyn Tankard
In Legal Trouble
Ironically, on Monday, Feb. 18 reality TV star Brooklyn Tankard wrote on Instagram, “Success is not doing
everything you WANT to do WHEN you want to do it. No. Success is SACRIFICING…”

But the daughter of Christian couple Ben and Jewel Tankard, stars of Bravo’s “Thicker Than Water: The
Tankards” was arrested for sending her 10-year-old daughter to school when she wanted and failing to do it
when she didn’t.

The 25-year-old mother was nabbed by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office Sunday after being stopped for
failure to stay in her lane, according to the official deputy’s report.

Things spiraled even further downward after it was discovered that the Murfreesboro City School System had
previously filed a warrant against her on truancy charges for 16 unexcused absences and 35 unexcused tardy
arrivals.

According to a report by one Deputy Scott Parker, Tankard was also booked on charges of driving with a
revoked license and having no proof of insurance in her automobile.

Known as “Queen Brooklyn” on the family’s controversial reality show that was slammed by viewers for being
over the top, ignorant, and far too vain for a faith-based program, she admits to having made plenty of
mistakes in the past. The show often highlighted her efforts to get her life on track, despite poor decision
making skills.

On Feb. 16, Mrs. Tankard posted a photograph of herself and her daughter who would be arrested days later
on Instagram with the caption, "Brook & I hangin on our new debt free airplane.Jesus brings all dreams 2 pass.
U got next! #girlboss"

At the time of writing this article, no one in the family has commented on the arrest.

Tankard was released Sunday with no bond required, and told to report to Rutherford County Juvenile Court at
2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Tennessean reports that she failed to show up. Magistrate Judge Jeff McCullough
reset her court date to 11 a.m. Feb. 28.
