Apollo Nida Coming To Lexington Prison

A reality show star will be spending time in Lexington behind bars starting Wednesday.

Apolla Nida, who was on "the Real Housewives of Atlanta," is sentenced to eight years in prison.

This is after he pleaded guilty to mail, wire and bank fraud and identity theft in July.

Court records show Nida created fake companies and opened fake bank accounts to funnel stolen U.S. Treasury checks and money from auto loans.

He also opened a fake auto dealership and applied for auto loans in the names of stolen identities. 

Nida has also been ordered to pay almost 2-million dollars in restitution as part of his sentence.

Nida is married to entertainment attorney Phaedra Parks who will continue on the show.
