The wife of Jet cornerback Antonio Cromartie — who griped that she was stopped by police in New Jersey for “driving while black” — has a history of violent and vehicular offenses.
Terricka Lynne Cason, 34, has a rap sheet going back 15 years, with convictions in California for domestic violence, two cases of theft, twice driving without a license, and speeding, court records show.
“I was pulled over for no reason, just to ask me to roll my windows, and why am I in Madison,” she wrote on Instagram Sept. 25. “But how do you deal with a police office who are simply just harassing you.”
Cason also posted a video, since removed, of her encounter with the white cop in Madison.
The Madison Police Department responded on Monday, saying Cason was issued summonses for talking on her cellphone while driving and tinted windows. It said her racial-profiling complaint would be investigated.
Cason’s run-ins with the law began in February 2000 when she was a student at California State University, Northridge, and was convicted of petty theft for stealing from Macy’s.
Later that month, she was charged with assaulting two women after a dance at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
“I’m going to kick [name redacted] ass!” Cason had said, a witness told cops.
She jumped one woman from behind and kicked and punched her in the eye, witnesses told cops.
Battery charges were dismissed by the Santa Barbara district attorney five years later, in April 2005.
In November 2005, Cason, who had a baby daughter, pleaded no contest to domestic violence against an unidentified lover or domestic partner, who received an order of protection against her.
While on three years of probation, she repeatedly failed to show at court hearings, generating several warrants for her arrest.
In July 2006, she was busted when cops were summoned to California State University, Long Beach, over a dispute with a parking officer. Cops found a warrant for Cason.
Cason, who has launched a career in commercials and dancing in music videos, was convicted of driving without a license in Van Nuys in 2008, speeding in Riverside County in 2009, and driving without a license near Los Angeles International Airport in 2010. She pleaded no contest in Glendale to grand theft from a Sunglass Hut in 2010.
Cason starred in E!’s “Candy Girls,” a 2009 reality show about four young black women who danced, hosted celebrity parties and served as “eye candy” at events.
She married Cromartie in July 2010. They have two children. Cromartie has eight other kids with seven women.
Asked about her record, Cason said: “That’s none of your business. This is harassment.”
Cason had been on her way to get her nails done when the Madison cop pulled her over, her spokeswoman said.
“She did nothing wrong, and she was afraid,” the rep said.
