The arrest was made by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office on May 15 at a Florida airport, marking a shocking twist in the life of a man once celebrated for his charisma and savvy social gameplay inside the Big Brother house.
But this time, there are no diary rooms—just cold legal documents, felony accusations, and a rapidly unraveling personal and professional life.
Robert “Memphis” Garrett became a household name after finishing as runner-up on Big Brother Season 10 back in 2008. He returned to the series more than a decade later, landing in fifth place during the All-Stars edition of Season 22 in 2020. But unlike many reality TV contestants who disappear into obscurity, Garrett tried to turn his moment in the spotlight into something more lasting.
After his time on television, Garrett ventured into the food and hospitality industry, where he launched Poke House Lauderdale, an LLC operating two popular Florida-based restaurants: The Poke House and No Man’s Land Miami.
