Farrah Franklin, whose claim to fame is
five months backing up Beyonce in the band
Destiny's Child, was charged with disorderly
conduct Sunday.
Franklin, 33, told police she planned to sleep in
the woods after two pro football players she
partied with earlier in the evening kicked her out
of a house in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, early
Sunday.
Da'Quan Bowers, a defensive end for the NFL's
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Ricky Sapp, a
Houston Texan linebacker, called police after she
refused "to calm down" at Sapp's home early
Sunday, the police report said.
Bowers, 24, told police he flew Franklin to Myrtle
Beach from California "so they could hang out" at
Sapp's home.

Sapp, 27, said that after an evening of drinking on
the town, Franklin "became intoxicated, began
acting strange, was yelling, slamming doors," the
police report said.
Franklin ran out of the house when she heard
them call police and "was last seen screaming in
the neighbor's yard down the street," the police
report quoted them saying.
The arresting officer wrote that he found Franklin
"laying in a neighbor's yard."
"I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic
beverage emitting from the arrestee's person, her
eyes were blood shot and glassy and she was
unsteady on her feet," the officer wrote. "The
arrestee appeared to be highly intoxicated."
Franklin admitted she had been drinking but
denied she used drugs, the report said. "The
arrestee stated she did not have any where else
to go and was planning on sleeping in the
woods."
Franklin was charged with disorderly conduct and
held in the Horry County, South Carolina, jail until
she was freed on $280 bail, according to jail
records.
She posted
messages on Twitter after her release from jail
Sunday evening that were apparently related to
the arrest.
"Have a Blessed Sunday my Luvs @ Myrtle Beach
International Airport," she tweeted. It was
accompanied by an Instagram graphic that read
"May the Lord turn all your sour moments into
lemonade."
A later tweet said, "I'm good just hate the dumb
media sometimes, but hey this is the job I signed
up for."
Franklin, who lives in the Los Angeles area, was a
member of the girl group for just five months in
2000. She was added to the group to replace
another singer who had been dismissed by
Mathew Knowles, father of its lead singer,
Beyonce.
