NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A former reality TV star from Middle Tennessee was arrested at a Walmart on Friday after she attacked another person with a sock filled with rocks, according to an arrest affidavit.

On Friday, July 18, officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department were called to 3035 Hamilton Church Road in reference to the alleged assault.

Officers spoke with the victim, who said she was using the self-checkout when the suspect, 21-year-old Diamond Tankard, came from behind and grabbed her by the hair. After the attack, the victim said Tankard took her $1,500 iPhone 14 and her $900 Louis Vuitton handbag.

Officers found a laceration above the victim’s left eye on her forehead.

According to the victim’s grandmother, Tankard had a sock filled with rocks and used it to strike the victim.

Walmart staff provided security footage of the incident, which confirmed it.

Tankard was arrested and charged with theft of property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She bailed out on a $25,000 bond.

In December, Tankard was charged with attempted first-degree murder after she allegedly intentionally struck a woman with her vehicle on Nov. 29.

Tankard was a reality TV child star who appeared on Bravo’s Thicker Than Water, a show about Ben Tankard and his family. Ben is a music producer and pastor of Murfreesboro church, Destiny Center.

As someone who has been attacked with a sock, you will never know the pain, humiliation and life-long scars.

You start to blame yourself and society. Why do we even need socks?

You live with it your whole life.

If it’s a dirty athletic sock, it’s even worse.

Why is she even out of jail, when last November 29, she was accused of purposely striking a pedestrian with her vehicle?
Attractive girl, but her behavior is ugly. Permanently warped in her thinking.
What would make her act this way?
Mental illness, maybe, but more likely, some kind of substance abuse.

Then put the blame on the rocks. The sock is probably innocent, and had no choice but to allow itself to be filled with rocks. OTOH, it did participate... Throw the book at both of them!

The sock was estranged from its partner in a tragic laundromat mishap. It’ll make ya bitter.

I always wondered how Lambchop dealt with the truth in the TV special "Lamb Chop’s Passover Surprise"? (Yes, that was a real show)

That show sounds like something late funnyman Soupy Sales would dream up. Then, later be suspended for it.

Like the way Bill Scott (as Bullwinkle) was fired from his puppet segment when he instructed the children to take the knobs off of the TV to make sure that the channel doesn't get changed and they can be together again next week?
