The daughter of soap star Kristoff St. John and professional boxer Mia St. John was arrested Monday after stripping and meditating in a supermarket.
Paris St. John, 30, was arrested after police responded to reports around 8 p.m. that a woman was praying and meditating naked at a WinCo in Boise, Idaho, according to an affidavit seen by TMZ.
St. John was arrested and taken back to the Ada County Jail where she then allegedly attempted to flee, requiring police to take her to the ground.
She was jailed just before 9 p.m. on April 10 on three counts of indecent exposure, escape and resisting arrest, according to inmate records.
Paris is the daughter of the late actor Kristoff St. John, an American actor best known for playing Neil Winters on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 52 from a heart condition.

Police said in the affidavit that when they arrived at the grocery store, St. John was convinced by a store clerk to put her clothes back on.
While she was booked in the county jail, she was reported to have escaped from the jail’s sluice gate when the door opened to let an officer in.
Police say they asked Paris to stop, but she ignored them and demanded they run after her, grab her and bring her to the ground.
The St. John family has been through a lot of trauma over the past decade. In 2014, Paris’ brother Julian committed suicide, aged just 24.
In the following years, Kristoff battled with depression and alcoholism.
In October 2017, he was placed in a mental institution for 72 hours after threatening to shoot himself.
He was hospitalized again earlier in 2019 after checking himself into UCLA Medical Center after another bout of depression. He was released just a few days before his death.

After his death, Paris made headlines after filing court documents in LA to verify his estate because he died without a will.
Soon after, Kristoff’s father, Christopher St. John, provided what he claimed was a handwritten will. The note stated that Paris should receive 25 percent of his estate, while his other daughter, Lola St. John, would receive the rest.
Paris subsequently filed an objection to her grandfather’s motion to become the executor of his late son’s estate.
The documents claim that Paris believes the holographic will was “written in a private diary and was not intended for third parties to see,” the Blast reported at the time.
“The document would never have been found if someone hadn’t opened the private diary of the deceased,” the publication said.
She said she “believes that certain other changes and interlineations were made in someone other than the handwriting of the deceased after his death.”
She also said that the second page of the handwritten will had been removed and destroyed. It “starts in the middle of a sentence and is not connected to the previous set of thoughts,” she said.
