Power actress arrested, charged with disorderly conduct, cruelty to children in DeKalb

Alix Lapri, recognized for her portrayal of Effie Morales in the "Power" series, was arrested last week in DeKalb County, Georgia, on charges of disorderly conduct and cruelty to children in the 3rd degree. She was booked into the DeKalb County Jail shortly before 5 p. m. on a Monday and released after spending just over 24 hours behind bars. The arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred on August 10, though no specific details have emerged, as court records remain unavailable.

Lapri has not commented on the arrest via her social media platforms. In addition to her acting career, she has released music, including an EP titled "I Am Alix Lapri. " Her early career included collaborations with fellow artist Jacob Latimore and a role in the film "Den of Thieves. " The case raises concerns over the implications of her charges, especially regarding her responsibilities as a public figure. Local authorities have yet to respond to inquiries about the incident.
