Amanda Conner, wife of Teen Mom alum Ryan Edwards, was arrested by the Chattanooga Police Department in Tennessee on May 24 on charges of driving under the influence and child abuse. Yeah, you read that right.

The Chattanooga Police Department took Conner into custody, and now she’s facing some seriously heavy charges. Details are still emerging about exactly what went down, but this is a major blow for the Edwards family, who’ve already had their share of drama play out on reality TV over the years.

Ryan Edwards, who appeared on Teen Mom, hasn’t publicly commented on his wife’s arrest yet. But you better believe this story is going to blow up fast. The combination of a DUI arrest plus child abuse charges is the kind of scandal that doesn’t quietly go away.

This is the latest in a string of legal troubles that have plagued cast members from the MTV franchise. Amanda’s arrest marks another chapter in the messy real-life drama that often overshadows what happened on camera.
