Kimberly West, one of the property managers arrested last week for allegedly hoarding tornado relief supplies for the Auburn Hills mobile home park, has been arrested a second time for alleged coercion of tenants.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office arrested West at about 4 p.m. Tuesday. She was being booked at the Hamilton County Jail on two felony counts of coercion of a witness.

West and her co-manager, Steve West, were arrested last week and charged with theft over $60,000 and criminal conspiracy to commit theft over $60,000. Their bonds were set at $10,000 each.

Kimberly West’s new charges stem from “actions taken by [her] concerning trailer park tenants after being released on the original charges,” according to a sheriff’s office news release.
