Paige Maples seems like bad news.  She was convicted in 2014 of felony embezzlement in a dental office, and was ordered to repay $23,000 to the dentist who she victimized.  In February 2016, she was charged with driving under the influence and speeding, and her parole from her 2014 conviction was revoked.
