Us Weekly confirms that Track, 28, sat in silence in Palmer District Court on Wednesday, December 20, as Magistrate Judge Tara Logsdon approved his house arrest with electronic monitoring. He is not allowed to go within an “exclusion zone” around his parents’ home or near places that sell alcohol. He cannot drink and can only take prescription drugs as prescribed. He must also take a breathalyzer test at least six times a day using a facial recognition device that picks up on alcohol.

In addition, all weapons must be removed from Track’s home. He can only travel to medical appointments and his job at the drilling company Alaska Directional LLC.

Track’s legal woes have also resulted in his ex-wife, Britta Hanson, being granted a protective order against him, according to legal documents obtained by The Blast. Hanson, to whom Track was married from 2011 to 2012, reportedly claims in the filing that he was “cussing and yelling” and “grabbed me and pushed me into a wall” during an altercation on November 25. According to The Blast, she is afraid for the safety of the former couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Kyla. Hanson and Kyla also reportedly created a safeword (“Mom, can you sing me a bedtime song?”) should the child ever feel like she’s in danger.
