‘Teen Mom OG’ and ‘Teen Mom 2’ Mugshots: A Timeline With Jenelle Evans, Amber Portwood and More

Multiple members of the Teen Mom franchise have run into trouble with the law. While some, including Jenelle Evans and Amber Portwood, have posed for the camera on multiple occasions, other stars’ mugshots, including Farrah Abraham and Adam Lind, have not been released by authorities. (Abraham was first arrested for a DUI in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2013, and Lind’s most recent arrest was in December 2017 after Chelsea Houska’s ex violated his probation for a no-contact order).

Us Weekly confirmed in January 2022 that Abraham had been arrested again after allegedly slapping a security guard outside a Los Angeles nightclub. She was taken into custody and was issued a citation before being released hours later.

Portwood, for her part, was arrested for domestic abuse against ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon in July 2019. (She was released from custody several days later.)

Amber Portwood 2019

Portwood was arrested on felony domestic battery charges in Indiana in July 2019, according to Radar Online.

“I really had to go through something terrible in order for me to kind of sit back and say, ‘Hey, this is what I need to work on. This is how I work on it. And no more excuses. It’s time to actually do the job and get it done — one by one and not putting too much on myself,'” the Teen Mom OG star exclusively told Us in March 2020. “I think once I started doing it that way and really working hard on it in the best way that I could, I learned to truly, truly love myself in a sense.”

Portwood continued at the time: “My children are my main priority always, even though it might be hard for some people to think that. I truly just try to think of my family, think of my beautiful children and what I need to do next so I can be here for them and be the best mom I can be. I did a major change within myself and within my life in a little less than a year and I am happy. It’s a blessing in disguise as well as one of the hardest times in my life.”

Ryan was arrested at the beginning of the year on several charges — including harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance in February — after he violated an Order of Protection sought by his estranged wife, Mackenzie Edwards. (She filed for divorce later that month.)

He was arrested again that March for stalking and violating a restraining order.While a judge dismissed the charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and stalking, Ryan pleaded guilty to harassment, which required he wear a GPS monitor and complete a “rehab treatment,” per court documents obtained by Us.

The Tennessee native was arrested for a third time in 2023 when he was booked for simple possession of a controlled substance and a DUI in April, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Us.

Police found Ryan “unconscious and unresponsive” in the driver’s seat of his truck and was treated with Narcan by medical professionals. He was found with a bag containing a crystal type substance,” the document noted, along with a “second small bag of what appeared to be a blue powder" as well as a rolled-up paper receipt.

“The vehicle [was] running and in drive,” the paperwork stated. “Police observed that the vehicle’s front driver’s side tire hit the curb on the center median where the vehicle then came to a stop.”

Per the affidavit, Ryan said that he "snorted a powder before waking up in the back of an ambulance." He was taken to jail, where he will remain until April 20. He is being held with no bond.
