The owner of the Pines Mall was arrested for criminal contempt in connection to a lawsuit filed against her in 2016.
The suit against Judy Vu was brought by a woman who claims she slipped and fell on leaking water in the mall, leaving her with extensive injuries.
A judge awarded the woman $50,000 in damages, but has not paid. Thuytien “Judy” Vu, was arrested Tuesday night at the mall.
The 51-year-old was initially booked under a different charge, but the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is calling that a mistake.
Vu is in the Jefferson County jail. Her bond is set at $56,000.
