Atlanta Escorts: Man charged with killing Riverdale mother of two
Posted on January 28th, 2012 in Atlanta escorts
Thomas had been arrested at least twice in the past 18 months for prostitution, in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties.
In 2008 and 2009, she had arrests in Fulton, Clayton and Cobb counties related to drug possession, forgery and lying to police.
But those who knew her said she was trying to make a turnaround.
The most recent arrest, in DeKalb County on Nov. 10, 2010, led her to a prostitution diversion program, her attorney, Albert Mitchell, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Mitchell said Rochelle Thomas was estranged from her sons for nearly five years. Her mother had the boys until she could quit the sex trade.

While Beverly Mitchell reveled Friday in the work police and the GBI did to arrest and charge someone in her daughter’s murder, she couldn’t help but lament at losing a daughter she seemed to have just regained from the world of prostitution.
