Hey, we get it — things can get a little crazy down on the Grand Strand sometimes. Farrah Franklin, who was in Destiny's Child for five months in 2000, was arrested near Myrtle Beach, S.C., early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct, TMZ reports. (She was detained on similar charges in California in 2011.) The website for the Horry County Detention Center in nearby Conway shows that Franklin, 33, of Sherman Oaks, Calif., was booked at 4:55 a.m. She was released later Sunday after posting $280 bail. Franklin joined Destiny's Child in February 2000 but left in July of that year. According to MTV News, Franklin was kicked out for missing promotional appearances and shows. (She says she left because of "negative vibes" and a lack of input on decisions.) At the time, Beyonce said: "Destiny's Child is going to be fine. We've done three or four shows already without Farrah and they've been phenomenal." Ouch Here's a snippet of an interview with Franklin from her days in the band. Check out Beyonce's reaction. In 2011 Farrah was arrested in Los Angeles for the same thing - disorderly conduct - and alcohol was involved then as well. Franklin was with Destiny's Child for several performances in the year 2000 before being asked to leave. Meanwhile, her former band mate Beyonce has been on tour with her husband Jay Z. On Friday they put on a united front in Houston, Texas even as reports continue to surface that they two are having marital problems. The beauty was taken into the Horry County Detention Center in Conway just after five in the morning. Her mug shot was taken and she was later released on a bond. Just before the arrest, the performer shared a photo of herself on the beach; she looked to have not a care in the world. Farrah Franklin, 33, who once-upon-a-time was a member of the R&B; girl group Destiny's Child, was reportedly arrested in the wee hours of Sunday morning and charged with disorderly conduct, according to TMZ. Franklin and Michelle Williams joined Destiny's Child in 1999, replacing LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. Franklin, who was hired by Beyoncé's dad and the group's then manager, Matthew Knowles, remained with the group for a mere five months. She claimed to have learned about her firing via an MTV news report. Not long after Franklin's alleged dismissal, Beyoncé publicly stated in an interview that her band-mate had not been callously fired and the decision to let Franklin go was reached unanimously by the group. According to Beyoncé, Franklin and the group agreed to part company because she had reportedly not only missed quite a few major performances but had made it perfectly clear that she was not interested in continuing with Destiny's Child. Franklin, now an actress, was allegedly booked into the Horry County Detention Center in Conway, South Carolina. Franklin was cited for disorderly conduct and released Sunday afternoon after posting bond, reports TMZ. This is not Franklin's first arrest. Three years ago, she was reportedly cuffed for disorderly conduct in Culver City, California. At the time of her arrest, Franklin claimed she had been roughed up and racially profiled by officers. She initially denied the incident, telling media that police had merely detained her. TMZ later confirmed with the jail where Franklin was held that she in fact had been arrested for "disturbing the peace" and that alcohol possibly played a role.
