It’s happened again, Teen Mom fans.
And it’s long past the point of being funny.
Officials from Hamilton County Jail in Tennessee have confirmed to Radar Online and other outlets that Ryan Edwards was arrested on Wednesday, January 23 at 12:45 a.m.
He’s been charged with heroin possession and theft of services under $1,000.
We’ve lost track at how many times now Maci Bookout’s ex has fun afoul of the law, but it’s unclear what his future holds at this point.
Scroll down for the latest on Edwards and join us in just feeling awful for Ryan’s two sons, Jagger and Bentley…
Jesus, Ryan (MTV) We know, right? The ex-MTV star clearly has a major problem here, which we pretty much knew long before his latest arrest.
This is His Newest Mug Shot Let’s just say it isn’t the first one of Edwards we’ve put up on our website as we’ve reported on his continual downfall.
From July 2018: This one was snapped after another arrest in Tennessee on possession of heroin.
From March 2018: And this one was from a probation violation… from a previous heroin possession arrest.
So, What Happened This Time? Few specific details are available at this time, but basically what happened many other times to Ryan: Per Radar, a clerk from Hamilton County Jail says Edwards was taken into custody for theft and possession of heroin and held initially on $500 bond.
He May Not Have Been in Possession of Drugs at the Time He Was Caught… The heroin possession charge stemmed from an outstanding warrant in Red Bank, Tennessee and a court date has been set for Wednesday, February 6.
Why, Ryan? (MTV) TMZ is now reporting that Ryan was arrested for skipping out on a $36 bar tab near his hometown in Tennessee.
Senseless Self-Destruction Ryan was reportedly in the bar from noon to 4 PM on the day of his arrest, during which time he consumed 6 Jack Daniel’s … and then left without paying.
Didn’t Ryan Just Get Out of Rehab? Yes, he left a three-month stint around Thanksgiving of last year. He reportedly left after the FULL three months, despite reports he busted out of there early.
Getting Clean (MTV) Ryan was in rehab to be treated for his addiction to heroin. He reportedly began drinking again within days of his release, likely reasoning that he could do so without issue, as booze was not his drug of choice.
At Last! “Oh, my f-ck,” wife Mackenzie Standifer wrote on Instagram in response to a fan’s comment about Ryan’s “Longest f-cking 90 days of my life and they are COMPLETED.”
Edwards Missed Something Major While He Was Gone… … the birth of his second son, Jagger, who Mackenzie is holding in the photo above.
He Also Has a Son with Maci (Getty) Bentley. He’s 10. He’s grown up with his dad in and out of his life, in and out of trouble with the law.
There Were Whispers of Trouble Right Away This Time (MTV) Nearly as soon as Edwards got out of rehab last year, there was talk that he was drinking once again, although that was never confirmed.
There Was More, Though (Photo Credit: MTV) Follow-up reports alleged that Edwards was on Tinder, looking for some casual sex and whatnot — despite being married.
And There Was Even More Than This A woman with whom Edwards allegedly matched on this dating service claimed that Edwards asked her about doing drugs.
We’re All Good, Though! Standifer shared a photo of her and her husband on New Year’s Eve, right around the time of these rumors, insisting their relationship was strong. “Best New Years. Best lover. Best friend,” she wrote as a caption.
Seriously… Look! Standifer also posted this family photo around Christmas in an attempt to tell followers her life was back to normal.
Just a Regular, Loving Dad And she also published this one of her husband and young son, just weeks before Ryan’s latest arrest. Very sad.
Mackenzie Has Since Tried to Shed Light on the Opiod Crisis in America She’s been sharing stats about addiction and everything, trying to use Ryan’s struggles as an example of how many people out there are hooked.
But Now? We have no idea what Standifer will do or say about Ryan. She’s hasn’t commented about this new arrest yet.
The Couple Quit Teen Mom OG Last July (Image Credit: MTV) “We’re not returning to Teen Mom this season. The network told us they don’t want to show Ryan as a recovering addict,” Standifer told E! News, citing Ryan’s drug use as the reason MTV did not want him back.
MacKenzie Has Put Up with A LOT Already Edwards first checked into rehab in June of 2017 after he appeared to drive under the influence on Teen Mom OG … on the way to his wedding to Standifer.
The Same Can Be Said for Maci She has worked very hard to maintain at least some relationship with Ryan, for the sake of their son. She’s close to his parents, for example.
Tears from Grandma “I do know from what he’s said to me that he does want to work things out where y’all can communicate and have everybody getting along,” a tearful Jen, Ryan’s mom, told Maci on a recent episode of Teen Mom OG.
Added His Mom: “He’s very sorry about a lot of stuff, and he’ll probably tell you that. The sober Ryan, I feel like he matters.”
Maci Agreed “He needs to know, from all of us that he, Ryan, made bad decisions, but I think it was the addiction,” Maci reassured her former in-laws.
Again, We Ask: But Now? (Getty) We really have no idea. We’ll keep fans apprised of what happens to Ryan and how both his ex-wife and current wife react.
Doin’ Time Whatever the case, Ryan will be behind bars for the foreseeable future. Having been denied bond, Edwards will remain locked up at least until his April court date.
