Richards, a former child actress who has appeared on the
Bravo channel show since its 2010 debut, was reported by
security at the Beverly Hills Hotel to be causing a disturbance
in the property's restaurant, police said.
Hotel security asked the intoxicated television personality to
leave, but she refused, prompting police to be called, Beverly
Hills police said in a statement.
Richards was being escorted from the property when she was
allowed to use the bathroom and then refused to leave there as
well, police said.
When police officers entered the restroom, she was slurring her
speech, cursing at them and passively resisting arrest until
they finally took her into custody, the police said.
At the police station, she kicked an officer in the leg,
authorities said. She received a citation charging her with
public intoxication, trespassing and resisting an officer and
released with an order to appear in court on June 11.
A spokeswoman for Richards did not return a call or email
seeking comment.
Richards, 50, appeared as a child in the 1970-1971 situation
comedy "Nanny and the Professor" and in the Walt Disney Co films
"Escape to Witch Mountain," "No Deposit, No Return" and "Return
from Witch Mountain."
She also had guest-starring roles on television and had a
supporting role in the 2006 movie "Black Snake Moan."
