GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — The owner of a popular restaurant in Greensboro has been arrested.

Many of you reached out to WFMY News 2 about it and we did some digging and here's what we know about it at this time. 

The Guilford County Sheriff's Office arrested Seafood Destiny Owner, Anthony Knotts. The sheriff's office arrested him for alleged felonious drawing, making, issuing, or uttering of worthless checks of more than $18,800. However, the sheriff's office said he was found to be in both criminal and civil contempt for failure to obey court orders. 

As a part of the criminal contempt, Knotts was ordered to remain in jail, or post cash, or a secured bond for $101,004. The sheriff's office said he paid the bond amount. However, as a part of the civil contempt order, it requires him to remain in jail in custody until he could be brought before the court.

After posting bond, he was released but shouldn't have been, according to the sheriff's office. 

They said Knotts was re-arrested the same day for the civil contempt order and will appear in Guilford County Superior Court on Monday, March 14 for contempt of court.
