According to an arrest warrant, obtained by TMZ, the star of America’s Survivor series has been accused of nabbing furniture and a necklace from Jean Cook – the grandma he pretended had died during an infamous moment on the show in 2003.

A criminal complaint was filed by Jonny’s aunt – his grandma’s daughter – who claims Jonny and his mother, Patsy Hall, are taking advantage of her mother’s severe dementia.

Jonny is accused of removing bar stools, a leather chair, an end table, and a silver necklace from his grandma’s home without proper consent. He was busted for larceny last week (ends18Dec20) in his hometown of Danville, Virginia, along with his mother.

Fairplay, real name Jon Dalton, tells the outlet: “I (we) have been unjustly charged by a family member. I welcome the opportunity to vindicate myself (and my mother).”
