The former WWE star was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property on Wednesday in Queens Criminal Court. She was then released for her arraignment.
The former bodybuilder, who won the 1997 NPC National Bodybuilding Championship, resides in Middle Village, N.Y. and rose to fame as a frequent member of shock jock Howard Stern's New York City radio show and in Vince McMahon's WWE during a five-month stint with the company.
Bass made her WWE debut at WrestleMania XV and served as Sable's bodyguard in early 1999 before going through several different storylines and eventually departing.
She got her start in professional wrestling in Paul Heyman's now-defunct ECW promotion.
Bass, 50, sued the WWE for sexual harassment, but the case was ultimately dismissed in 2003.
"I know she's a little down on her luck right now," said her neighbor, who would only give her name as Lucy, according to The New York Daily News. "It's just not like her, it's not. It's really too bad. I hope she gets everything straightened out."
Bass also has had run-ins with the law in the past as she was involved in a domestic incident in 2005 with her husband and also was arrested for disorderly conduct in 2000 after allegedly biting an officer at the San Gennaro festival in Little Italy.
