The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes’ oldest son, Bryson Bryant, had his probation put on pause due to him not checking in with his probation officer — and now his other legal troubles are being exposed.

In Touch obtained a transcript from Bryson’s sentencing on May 15. The transcript was filed days after his probation officer claimed he cannot find Bryson, 34.

Bryson was ordered to serve 12 months’ probation for giving a false name to officers during questioning in July 2023. In the transcript, the prosecutors revealed that Bryson had a little bit of a criminal history.

They noted he had a 2010 misdemeanor marijuana [case] “where conditional discharge was used;” a 2011 misdemeanor shoplifting [case] and a 2023 misdemeanor shoplifting “that at the time that this file was prepared, it was still pending.”

The prosecutor said, “I don’t know if anything’s changed. That was out of Suwanee Police Department.”

The court docket does not show any charges being filed against Bryson in 2023 for shoplifting. The incident was previously unknown.

As In Touch first reported, in the probation officer’s recent petition, he claimed that Bryson had failed to report on two separate occasions, the last being on September 30. He said his calls to Bryson’s cell phone were not returned.

The judge ordered Bryson’s probation to be “tolled,” which means it is essentially put on pause until he checks in with his probation officer or the court.
