Reality television star Wendy Osefo and her husband, Edward “Eddie” Osefo, were arrested Thursday in Carroll County, Maryland, on a sweeping array of fraud and false statement charges, according to court filings and local law enforcement. The couple was booked into county jail and later bonded out.
Background & Allegations
According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Wendy Osefo faces 17 charges, including seven felony counts related to providing false or misleading information in transactions exceeding $300, and one misdemeanor count for making a false statement to an officer. Page Six+2The Sun+2
The charges reportedly stem from alleged misuse or misrepresentation of financial documents, conspiracy, and false reporting. What remains unclear (as of now) is the precise nature of the transactions under scrutiny, and the role Eddie Osefo is alleged to have played. The Sun+3Page Six+3The Sun+3
