LegallyRed2 March 31, 2018 Share March 31, 2018 (edited) Who all thinks that the big fight between Ryan and his dad that was featured had to do with had more to do with this than whatever crap was cited? Why isn't his cow of a wife reading the letter to his parents because that's EXACTLY what this was about. They have tried to bury this for so long, it's sad. So for all the shit people talk about Catelynn and Tyler and all the crap that surrounds that family, at least they are portraying drug addiction honestly instead of trying to cover it up. And BULLSHIT that MTV didn't know about this. Let's fire Farrah on some stupid morality issue, but keep this moron driving on the roads because it makes good TV. Blech. Also, I would bet no one knew about the arrest because he was never formally indicted and enrolled in a diversion plan. The participants of ARD in Pennsylvania have to waive their Rule 600 (speedy trial) rights in order to participate. This means there was never a searchable charge and there won't be if the program is successfully completed. However, now that he violated the program's requirements (which he clearly did), all that comes back down to the charge which is why we are only seeing it now. Interesting: in most of those diversion programs, you cannot drink. And now his PO has the tape to prove that he was imbibing after the arrest. So he is fucked anyway you slice it. Whoever his lawyer is needs to squash Mackenzie's mouth asap because she's a moron for talking to the press about anything related to this.

druzy March 31, 2018 Share March 31, 2018 Quote Ryan Edwards found himself behind bars earlier this week, charged with violating his probation stemming from a previous arrest for possession of heroin. Teen Mom OG fans had not been aware that Ryan had been arrested before. When asked, Ryan’s pregnant wife Mackenzie claimed that “possession of heroin was the original charge from April [2017] before he went to rehab.” So what gives? The Ashley has been able to get to the bottom of what’s going on and why there is no mugshot or online recording of Ryan being arrested for heroin possession any time before this week. Mackenzie was not entirely correct in her statement. Ryan’s original charge stemmed from an incident that occurred on March 12, 2017. The Ashley has obtained the police report from that incident, which states that Ryan was stopped by police on that date while driving and was found to be in possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia. “Officers found needles and 1.8 grams of heroin in an open backpack during a traffic stop in Red Bank,, [Tennessee],” the police report states. A source tells The Ashley there’s a reason that no online record of that arrest exists. “He was only cited and not officially arrested in 2017,” the source says. “The officers took the heroin and needles, disposed of them and let him go. He was given a court date of April 10, 2017. There was no mugshot of him taken.” Normally, in a case like this, the arrestee would have had his mugshot taken on his court date, but it doesn’t appear that happened with Ryan. He was given probation, though, which brings us to Ryan’s arrest earlier this week on a warrant for “petition to revoke,” which means he violated his 2017 probation. An insider tells The Ashley that Ryan missed a required drug test this week, and that he mistakenly thought he no longer had to undergo drug testing. “He thought his required drug testing had ended and that his case had been expunged,” the insider said. “In Tennessee, though, you have to go through the TBI [Tennessee Bureau of Investigations] in order to get your case expunged, which Ryan never did. He still had more time on probation, so he had to keep doing drug tests.” (The dates do make sense; if Ryan had been given one year of probation for his crimes, it would match up to him thinking that his probation had ended.) It is not yet known if Ryan failed any of the drug tests he took, although it’s unlikely he did, as he would have been arrested. Two months after the 2017 drug bust occurred, Ryan married Mackenzie and, one day later, was checked into a Texas rehab facility where he stayed for 21 days. As The Ashley exclusively told you on Thursday, Ryan’s ex, Maci Bookout and her husband Taylor McKinney requested Orders of Protection against Ryan for themselves and their kids. They are due to go in front of a judge on Monday to try to get the protective orders approved. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51119-ryan-what-the-hell-happened-to-him/page/15/#findComment-4193219

meredithalmighty April 1, 2018 Share April 1, 2018 I'm so torn. Heroin is a serious addiction and there is a strong possibility he has TBI from a serious car accident in the past, yet Ryan has shown troubling behavior (not being a good father) for years. It would be interesting if Ryan opened up and was able to reflect on when his problems started. I get the sense they happened well before his ride on the Mac Truck started. But somehow, I get the sense that he's not truly committed to sobriety. He left the treatment center in Dallas early, and immediately started to drink beer when he got home. I think MTV needs to show him an ultimatum- he either needs to be forthcoming to viewers about his addiction & try to make changes or if he's going to continue abusing drugs, he's off the show. It's ridiculous that Farrah gets fired for being "mean" to crew, yet Ryan has been putting the crew for years in harm's way due to his drug use. Had he killed or injured someone in his wedding joyride, MTV could have been liable I don't believe for a minute that Jen and Larry weren't aware of his 2017 original arrest, and the show strongly hints that Larry knew of Ryan's problem before it became a storyline. I know it must be a terrible experience to be a family member of an addict, but they have really coddled Ryan. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51119-ryan-what-the-hell-happened-to-him/page/15/#findComment-4195342

Had he killed or injured someone in his wedding joyride, MTV could have been liable I agree with this. I understand that drug use isn't black and white. Not all drug users are bad people. I realize what a powerful hold addiction has on my people. My cousin almost died of a heroin OD roughly 4 years ago. His family served up some tough love and he got clean, has been clean ever since. He ended the relationship he was in. Moved away from the environment he was in. Stopped working in the industry he was in (bartending). He relied on his family and worked hard to improve his life. He's now been working steadily, has a steady relationship with an old hometown friend, is a great step-father to her daughter. He doesn't even drink. I'm so proud of him. There are plenty of success stories out there. I know it's hard. But it takes real honesty and self reflection to beat an addiction. Ryan shows none of that. And, what's worse, his family shows none of it either. I don't envy them, because I can't imagine the 50 different ways your heart strings would be pulled, dealing with an addict for a child. (Not sympathy for Mackenzie, she willingly married into that.) But they have to wake up and realize that their enabling is killing him. They have to refuse to put up with it any more. No loaning him money. No being the intermediary for Bentley. Cut his ass OFF. And MTV too. I dislike Farrah and don't miss her, but they milked the shit out of the ratings for that driving debacle and THAT was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen on TM, followed closely by Amber's assault of Gary. Farrah's incessant bitching would get old and I don't blame them for letting her go. But blood is on their hands when they willingly film this shit and get rich off of it. 17 hours ago, meredithalmighty said: I think it's more that he benefits from being white. If he was a snitch, I don't think a report would have been filed. I think it's more of a status thing than a race thing. Sadly, I know plenty of poor, white people who haven't caught any breaks when it comes to dealing with the law. My husband was in trouble with the law a lot as a juvenile. Never got one break. (Not that he should have.) Ryan comes from a nice, upper-middle class family. They may be well respected in the community; they may have connections. They have the ability to pay for decent counsel. 2 minutes ago, Kokapetl said: If he didn’t appear drunk or high, then the cops probably had no grounds to stop him from driving. I'm talking about when they pulled him over and he had needles and heroin on him. Whether he was actually high in the moment is irrelevant. I'm baffled as to why he was only cited, instead of arrested for possession and drug paraphernalia? 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51119-ryan-what-the-hell-happened-to-him/page/15/#findComment-4197397

Whether he was actually high in the moment is irrelevant. I'm baffled as to why he was only cited, instead of arrested for possession and drug paraphernalia? I'm confused too. I don't think "snitching" is an option, because doesn't that usually happen as part of a plea deal after you've been arrested? I can't imagine someone getting pulled over with HEROIN, saying "but Billy Bob is the dealer!!!...and JEFF is the guy who deals to HIM!"...and the cops saying "oh, alright. Peace out G!". As far as his race/status, I could see that being far more likely as a reason he wasn't arrested right there on the spot, but I still think that the race/status thing would again come into play after that initial arrest. There are exceptions to every rule, but it COMPLETELY baffles me that someone wouldn't be immediately arrested if they were caught with heroin, regardless of who they are. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51119-ryan-what-the-hell-happened-to-him/page/15/#findComment-4197500

ginger90 April 2, 2018 Share April 2, 2018 He should have had his license revoked, IMO. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51119-ryan-what-the-hell-happened-to-him/page/15/#findComment-4197591
