Actress Angie Harmon and former NFL star Jason Sehorn’s daughter Avery Sehorn was arrested and charged with breaking into a night club and stealing hundreds of dollars worth of liquor.
The then 18-year-old and two 17-year-old boys were charged with breaking into the World Night Club in Charlotte, North Carolina and taking six bottles of liquor worth $500 around midnight on June 6.
They were reportedly caught hiding behind a bar drinking the booze when cleaning crews spotted them. The three then attempted to run, but were apprehended by police. The incident was also reportedly captured on video by security cameras.
When Avery Sehorn was booked into the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Department it was only a few days after her high school graduation and a few days before her 19th birthday.

She was charged with felony breaking and/or entering and felony larceny after breaking/entering, and was released from jail with no bail after she signed a written promise to appear for her court date on June 28.
Four days before her arrest, Avery Sehorn’s mother Angie congratulated her on Instagram for graduating high school.
“We are all immensely proud of you Avery! You have overcome & conquered & excelled to shine brightly with the stars!” Angie Harmon wrote. “Remember to leave every place better than you found it & we are all so excited to see what God has planned for you!”
“Ms. Harmon respects and believes in the criminal justice system. She is looking forward to her daughter’s day in court so that the real truth can be told from individuals who were eyewitnesses to the events,” Angie Harmon’s attorney George V. Laughrun II told People in a statement.
“They and their counsel are confident that the truth will be forthcoming and again are looking ahead to show actual facts about what occurred, not conclusions and conjecture from outside sources. We will be making no further comment until our day in court and ask that everyone respect their privacy.”
Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn were married in 2001 and divorced in 2016. They have shared joint custody of Avery and her two sisters since their split.
