ORIGINAL: Ryan Edwards, 28, has disappointed Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout, 27, again. Her ex didnāt pay his bar tab of $36 on Dec. 19 and was booked at the Hamilton County Jail for Theft Under $1,000 on Jan. 23, according to the police report that HollywoodLife obtained. Hereās where it gets more serious ā because Ryan was arrested for heroin possession in March 2017, this recent arrest violated his probation, and heās now being held without bond as of Jan. 24.
āSadly, Maci isnāt shocked by Ryanās recent arrest,ā a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HL. Instead, sheās fretting over how this latest arrest will affect her and Ryanās 10-year-old son, Bentley. āSheās heartbroken over all of this as her main concern is Bentley and how she is going to explain this behavior to him as he continues to get older Bentley,ā our source continues. āShe was hopeful that Ryan could get better, but the fact that he is unable to change some of his ways is her worst nightmare as a mother.ā
It has only been two months since Ryanās wife, Mackenzie Edwards, announced that the former MTV star completed a 90-day stint in rehab. Ryan had sought help after spending a week in jail in July 2018 for breaking his probation over the heroin possession charge mentioned earlier. Ryanās latest charge also comes just three months after he and Mackenzie welcomed their first child, Jagger, in Oct. 18. As more arrests pile on Ryanās criminal record, Maci āwould never [have] imagined she would have to deal with this kind of stuff,ā our source reveals. āAll she ever says is that Bentley deserves better.ā
Maci had already issued a warning to Ryan if he didnāt get his act together, as seen in an episode of Teen Mom OG that aired in Nov. 2018. āPart of me just wants to let Ryan know that if he f**ks it up this time heās not going to have another chance when it comes to Bentley,ā Maci told her friend, Keelie.
