SOHO — Theodora Richards, the 25-year-old daughter of legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, was arraigned on graffiti and drug charges after allegedly vandalizing a SoHo convent Tuesday night.
Richards was caught scrawling on the wall of Saint Anthony's Convent at 190 Prince St. with a red paint pen around 10:40 p.m. When police searched the model/socialite's purse, they found marijuana and eight and a half pills of hydrocodone, or Vicodin, in an envelope, according to the criminal complaint.
The handwritten inked letters "T" and "A" with a heart in between were seen on a window sill outside the convent Wednesday afternoon. The lettering was approximately one inch tall and two inches wide.
"I hope I don't get in trouble for this," Richards, the daughter of Keith Richards and Patti Hansen, told police, adding that she didn't have a prescription for the Vicodin, according to court documents.
Richards has no criminal history and her lawyer, Stacey Richman, described her as a "a lovely and polite woman" after her arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court.
A sister at Saint Anthony's convent, who asked not to be identified, said graffiti had been a problem there in the past.
"There's one sister who's always having to clean it up," she said. "It's terrible."
