Paris St John was arrested for indecent exposure
According to the police, Paris was found nude, praying, and meditating in the front office of the store, after a store employee alerted them to the situation. Officers stated that upon their arrival at the supermarket, a store clerk had already convinced Paris to put her clothes back on. However, during her booking at the county jail, she managed to escape through the jail's sally port when the door was opened for an officer to enter. Police instructed Paris to halt, but she allegedly disregarded them, prompting them to pursue her, apprehend her, and take her down to the ground.
Tragedy of the St John family
The St John family has gone through significant hardships in the last ten years. Paris's younger brother Julian took his own life at the age of 24 in 2014, which left the family reeling. After Julian's death, Kristoff St John struggled with depression and alcoholism. He was put on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in October 2017 after making a threat to shoot himself. In 2019, Kristoff was once again hospitalized after experiencing another depressive episode, and he checked himself into the UCLA Medical Center. He was discharged just days before his passing at the age of 52.
