NORFOLK, Virginia — The two houses at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ legal trouble have been magnets for police activity since she bought them — with cops dispatched two dozen times since her ne’er-do-well kin moved in, The Post has learned.
James’ serial crook grandniece, Nakia Thompson, 36, moved into one home with her three children soon after James closed on the house in August 2020, for which she paid $137,000.
Since then, cops have been summoned to the residence on 12 occasions, according to police records — including several instances in which they were called multiple times in a day.
Cops went out to the house for issuing warrants and subpoenas — as well as for incidents labeled vandalism, domestic issues and for suspicious persons.
Additional details about the nature of the calls were not immediately available.
James’ purchase of two small houses in Norfolk — which she says were both for her family members — landed her in legal hot water.
In October, she was indicted on federal bank fraud charges, which allege she misrepresented how she would use the property she bought in 2020 in order to obtain a more favorable loan interest rate.
The other house, which she bought in 2023, was the subject of a criminal referral on similar allegations.
Rather than occupying the residence herself — as loan paperwork bearing James’ signature indicated she would be doing despite working over 300 miles away — the homes have been occupied by troubled relatives of the AG with extensive criminal histories.
James, who denies any wrongdoing in the bank fraud charges, faces up to 60 years in federal prison if convicted.
At the home James bought in 2020, three of the calls were placed the year she bought it, one each in 2021, 2022 and 2023 — and six in the first two weeks of October this year.
The latter calls were made after the property came under national scrutiny when James was charged with bank fraud.
Thompson, who told a grand jury in June she was living rent-free in the three-bedroom, one-bath house, is currently wanted by authorities in Forsythe County, North Carolina, for failing to finish her probation, court documents reveal.
In that case, she was charged with malicious conduct by a prisoner, a felony, along with assault of a government official and resisting a public officer, court records show.
But Thompson has also been repeatedly arrested and cited in Virginia since moving there — with charges including possession of burglary tools, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and grand larceny.
In 2020, Thompson was given two years’ probation and ordered to pay $2,020 in fees after she pleaded guilty to petit and grand larceny charges — both felonies, stemming from a 2019 arrest in which she stole nearly $2,000 worth of merchandise from Mary’s and Dillard’s in Chesapeake, Va., where she lived before moving into James’ home, according to court records.
Hours after The Post revealed her lengthy rap sheet last month, Thompson went on a fib-filled rant on Facebook dismissing her criminal history as “OLD AS HELL” and “fabricated.”
Late last month, Thompson was charged with profane, threatening, or indecent language over public airways, a misdemeanor, after allegedly threatening to punch her child’s assistant principal after calling her a “bald-headed bitch.”
James’ other Norfolk residence, purchased in 2023 via a $219,780 mortgage loan, is inhabited by her OnlyFans-model grandniece Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21, as well as her mother, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, and sister Courtney.
That property also has had repeated police calls, with 10 visits by officers between April 2024 and April 2025.
Calls for warrant service and a subpoena were included — along with calls for a domestic dispute and a reported assault.
One service call was placed in April 2025, but the other nine fell during a six-month period between April 2024 and October 2024.
Cayla was charged in April 2024 with lying about her felony criminal record when she tried to purchase a gun in Suffolk, Virginia, according to court docs.
Cayla was legally “disqualified” from owning a firearm due to an August 2020 felony charge of malicious wounding — which Virginia law defines as a crime in which a person “shoots, stabs, cuts or wounds any other person, or by any means causes bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable or kill.”
She was a juvenile at the time, and the records of that case are sealed.
She was also arrested in 2019 along with her big sister Nakia in the shoplifting incident in Chesapeake. Then in 2024 she got picked up for grand larceny after stealing merchandise worth upward of $1,600 from a Walmart in Norfolk.
She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor petit larceny, for which she received a suspended 12-month prison sentence.
