BACHELOR “Queen” Victoria Larson was arrested for stealing over 25 items valued at more than $250 from a Florida grocery store in 2012, The Sun can exclusively reveal. 

Years before she became the villain on Matt James’ season of the ABC reality series, the show contestant pouted in her mugshot as she was locked up for theft. 

According to the police report obtained exclusively by The Sun, Victoria, 28, was arrested on July 3, 2012 for petit theft - a charge in Florida when products stolen are valued between $100 to $300. 

The documents state that Victoria - then 20-years-old - was caught shoplifting at a Tallahassee Publix grocery mart. 

According to the report, a security guard present in the market during that time witnessed Victoria place over 25 different items into a reusable bag that was concealed in the baby seat portion of the shopping cart. 

Surveillance tapes from cameras throughout the store also captured the theft. 

The documents state that the dozens of items stolen - which included numerous makeup products - were valued at over $250. 

During her time in Publix, Victoria placed a few other groceries into the main part of the shopping cart and went to pay for those select items at self-checkout. 

However, she did not pay for a single one of the 25 plus products that were hidden in the reusable bag tucked in the baby seat portion of the cart.

The Florida native attempted to exit the market but was stopped by the security guard present and detained until a police officer arrived on the scene. 

Victoria initially denied to the officer that she had stolen the items - not yet knowing her actions were recorded on camera. 

She was then arrested and taken into Leon County Jail where she remained in custody for two days, the docs stated. 

After spending more than 48 hours behind bars, Victoria was released after posting her $1,000 bail. 

The following month, she was charged in court on petit theft charges and accepted a plea on August 23, 2012. 

Victoria was sentenced to two days in jail - which she was credited for having already spent the time upon her initial arrest. 

In addition, she was ordered to six months probation, had to pay back hundreds of dollars in fees and forced to attend theft school. 

She also was ordered to have no further contact with the Publix grocery store she committed the crime at. 

In the mugshot, the former beauty queen pouted her lips and seemed somber staring straight into the camera. 

While Bachelor Nation is accustomed to seeing her with dark brown hair, Victoria’s disheveled locks were blonde during the arrest. 

She appeared to have cried prior to the picture taken as her eyes looked watery while her eyeliner was smudged underneath.

ABC reps for The Bachelor did not immediately respond to The Sun’s request for comment. 

The majority of Victoria’s screen time on The Bachelor has seen her in a crown and referring to herself as “Queen.”

In addition, she has repeatedly declared that she has “no interest” making any friends in the house with the other ladies this season. 

Due to Victoria’s outspoken behavior and “diva” antics, she has been the target of fierce criticism on social media since the show premiered earlier this month.
