According to TMZ Sports, Ashley Danyelle Phelps--the younger sister of Kevin Garnett--was arrested on Tuesday in South Carolina. Phelps has been accused of trying to rob two separate Check Into Cash stores, in addition to trying to rob an Advance America. At two of those three locations she is said to have told employees that she had a bomb.

Phelps allegedly began this mini-spree on Monday at a Check Into Cash located in Greenville, South Carolina. After Phelps told an employee that she had a bomb, the employee alerted authorities by hitting a panic button. The other two locations that she allegedly tried to steal from were visited by her on Tuesday, with a(nother) bomb threat purportedly aired at an Advance America.

Certainly worth noting is that Phelps and Garnett don't speak to one another after they reportedly had a falling out.

The 37-year-old Phelps was charged with: two counts of armed robbery, two counts of making a bomb threat, and one count of attempted armed robbery.

Phelps is currently being held in the Greenville County Detention Center after being denied bond by a judge.
