Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband Eddie have been booked on criminal fraud charges, TMZ has learned.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star is facing 16 charges -- including 7 felonies, for allegedly making false/misleading info fraud in excess of $300. She's also facing one misdemeanor count of making a false statement to an officer.
The couple was booked Thursday night in Westminster, Maryland.
Here's the deal ... police say they reported a burglary on April 7 of last year, claiming that they found their bedroom ransacked after returning from a trip to Jamaica. They reportedly told police several designer bags and jewelry had been stolen, but get this ... Wendy was later caught in a social media post wearing a diamond ring she claimed was stolen!
Additionally, an investigation determined that numerous items that the Osefos claimed were stolen had been purchased then returned to the store "where a full refund was provided prior to the alleged burglary."
Wendy Osefo has been on the show since Season 5 ... she's a college professor of education -- teaching at Johns Hopkins University -- and a journalist, contributing to The Hill and MSNBC.
Wendy has degrees from Temple University, Johns Hopkins, and a Ph.D. in public affairs and community development from Rutgers
Wendy was tight with Kamala Harris during the former VP's run for president last year ... the two are members of the same sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.
The news comes on the heels of 'RHOP' castmate Karen Huger's release from jail last month after serving 6 months of a 1-year sentence for back-to-back DUIs.
