A music heiress was arrested after she attacked another woman with a sock full of rocks at a Walmart before allegedly stealing the victim's Louis Vuitton purse.
Diamond Tankard, the grandchild of Ben Tankard, the 'Godfather of Gospel Jazz,' and star of Bravo's 'Thicker Than Water' reality show, was taken into custody on Friday following the alleged assault in Antioch, near Nashville, Tennessee.
The violent encounter was caught on camera and even posted to social media by Tankard, 21. It is unclear what sparked the confrontation.
Tankard, dressed in a pink shirt and camo pants, was seen pummeling a woman and pulling her hair near the checkout counter at the store.
While bystanders tried to step in to stop the mayhem, Tankard pulled out a white and red striped tube sock before striking the other woman in the face with it.
At one point, Tankard's wig fell off her head, but she continued to punch the unidentified woman in the chaotic scenes.
The clip showed the reality star wearing an ankle monitor as blood dripped from the unnamed victim's face.
Following the dramatic incident, the victim told officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department Tankard stole her $900 designer handbag and $1,500 iPhone 14, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WVLT.

The woman said Tankard approached her from behind and grabbed her hair while she was using the self-checkout lane.
The victim was left with a laceration above her left eye, on her forehead, the report said.
Video surveillance from the store showed Tankard was seen using a sock full of rocks and swinging it several times.
Tankard was arrested and charged with theft of property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
She was released on a $25,000 bond, records showed.
Just last year, Tankard was charged with attempted first-degree murder after she was accused of intentionally striking a woman with her vehicle on November 29.
That night, the female victim, 30, and her sister left a bar around 12.30am and entered their vehicle.
Tankard then approached the driver's side window and asked the victim's sister 'if she knew a male,' police said.
'After the victim's sister told Tankard, no, she did not know him, they got into a subsequent verbal argument which turned physical,' it went on, adding that when the victim tried to break up the fight, Tankard entered her Range Rover.
She then drove the car to the end of the street before turning around and 'accelerating at a high rate of speed before striking the victim who sustained critical injuries,' police said.
During that incident, she was also wearing an ankle monitor for a domestic assault-related arrest. It is unclear if the ankle monitor in the recent video was the same device.
Tankard was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injury and failing to render aid. She was released on a $1,002,000 bond.
According to her social media accounts, Tankard lives in Nashville and has a daughter.
She is the daughter of Brooklyn Tankard, one of Ben's daughters.
Tankard was previously described as 'the entertainer of the family,' while her mother was said to love being 'the center of attention, according to Bravo.
She shot to fame as a child star on her family's Bravo reality series which aired from 2013 to 2019.
The series showed her grandfather's life and career as a music producer and pastor at Destiny Center Church in Murfreesboro.
Her grandfather, Ben, is also a former professional basketball player who serves as a motivational speaker for the NBA's Development League.
