Farber was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on April 16, 2021. According to Farber's representatives, upon arrival at the airport, she was detained by TSA and told that there was a warrant out for her arrest in Texas.
Farber allegedly told police that she had no history of trouble with the law, nor had she ever been to Texas.
