Amanda Conner is currently facing legal troubles. The wife of Teen Mom's Ryan Edwards was arrested by the Chattanooga Police Department in Tennessee on May 24th, charged with driving under the influence, child abuse/neglect, and driving on the wrong side of the road, as per court records accessed by E! News. A court date for Conner, who shares a 14-month-old daughter with Ryan and is a mother to an older son from a previous relationship, has been set for June 3rd. E! News has reached out to Conner and Edwards' representatives for comment but has not received a response yet.
In a 911 call connected to Conner's arrest, published by TMZ, a police dispatcher informed officers that a husband had reported his wife taking off in a car with "their baby" inside. The dispatcher told officers that the husband believed his wife was "under the influence of narcotics" because she refused to take an over-the-counter drug test. "He has her location," noted the dispatcher, who did not provide names during the call. "Has it turned off now, so we can't track her."
News of Conner's arrest comes less than a year after she tied the knot with Ryan, who is also dad to a 17-year-old son with his former 16 and Pregnant costar Maci Bookout McKinney as well as two young kids with ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer. Earlier this year, Conner, 35, shut down speculation that she and Edwards, 38, were facing marital problems.
"Stop being messy," she said in a Jan. 26 Instagram video. "For reference, me and Ryan are good. Other than the everyday bickering, because he doesn't pick his clothes up off the floor or he won't wash his sink out after he brushes his teeth, we're good." At the time, Conner said that social media users were "taking everything out of context" from her online activities.
"It's crazy because I can't even post a sad song and lip sync to it, or post a cute little inspiring quote, without people taking it out of context," she added. "Y'all stop speculating, please."
