DANBURY — The former reality TV star arrested for shoplifting last month will be back in court, with a public defender, for a plea hearing Aug. 5.

Caroline Bedol — who appeared in season six of Bravo TV’s “Below Deck” — applied for a public defender at Danbury Superior Court Tuesday morning.

The public defender will represent the 35-year-old in a larceny case, stemming from a June 9 incident at Walmart.

Bedol was arrested and charged with sixth-degree larceny after police say she shoplifted clothing from the big-box store on Newtown Road.

“The value of the property was under $80,” said Detective Lt. Mark Williams.

“Below Deck” profiles young people who work aboard yachts. Bedol was a stewardess, known for her outspoken nature, who left the show after getting into a fight with two cast members.

She was described on bravotv.com as “an experienced stewardess who grew up in the Northeast. She was introduced to yachting by a friend who was a chef in the industry. Being a fan of the nomadic lifestyle and always looking for her next adventure, she received her certifications to become a stewardess and immediately joined a crew.”

Bedol’s last known place of residence is Westport.
