‘Teen Mom’ Star Ryan Edwards Was Arrested A Day After His Wife’s Pregnancy Announcement

Ryan Edwards was arrested on Tuesday after police allegedly learned he violated his probation related to a previous heroin possession. 

Edwards is known for his appearances on MTV’s Teen Mom — now Teen Mom OG — and his ex Maci Bookout, who he shares a 9-year-old son with. 

According to TMZ, the arrest took place in Edwards’ home in Tennessee just a day after MTV revealed he was expecting his first child with wife Mackenzie Standifer. 

An episode of Teen Mom OG once revealed that Edwards was spending nearly $10,000 a week on heroin. He went to rehab after MTV’s cameras caught him falling asleep while driving. After spending 30 days there, Edwards said he was home and “doing well, and life could not be better.” 

Hopefully this arrest will serve as a wake-up call for Edwards and he’ll get the help he needs.
