Libbie Mugrabi, of Sag Harbor and formerly Deal, New Jersey, was arrested on Tuesday, Nov. 22, the Southampton Town Police Department reported.

The arrest stemmed from an incident that happened on July 31, when Mugrabi — whose ex-husband is billionaire art collector David Mugrabi — argued with her former housekeeper over a payment that was owed, and the argument escalated, authorities reported.

In addition to menacing the victim, she is accused of forcefully and unlawfully evicting the victim and breaking their cell phone, police said.

Police said Mugrabi is charged with:

Two counts of second-degree menacing
Third-degree criminal mischief
Fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon

She is set to be arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court, police said.
