The alleged incident left happened at the same Target that Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards was also arrested at last month.

The embattled 50-year-old was accused of taking $600 worth of stickers, clothes and bathroom products.

This is not A.J.'s first brush with the law with LA Sheriff's Department having a number of recent arrest entries for the celebrity spawn.

In addition to those, A.J. was previously charged with a DUI back in 2012 which he pled guilty and was sentenced to 36 months' probation and $1,600 in fines.

It is not known of the warrant he was arrested on related to that DUI.

That same year he was accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend's home and trying to lock her and her new boyfriend in a bathroom before being convinced to leave.

Lorenzo and his son have had a very strained relationship in the past.

The father and son were estranged for some time after reports surfaced that a then 18-year-old A.J. was having an affair with his father's then wife Shauna Sand.

While Playmate Shauna denied anything had happened with her step son, it did form part of the storyline for the sort live Leave It To Lamas reality show in 2009.
