Amber Portwood, the 'Teen Mom' star was arrested Friday, July 5 in Indiana and charged with domestic battery for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, while he was holding their child. As reported by Deadline, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) was called to a residence and the reality star was taken into custody.
"Just after 3:00 a.m., on 7.5.2019, officers were called to [the address] reference a disturbance. Officers spoke to the male victim who stated his live-in-girlfriend and he were having a disagreement," the IMPD said in a statement obtained by Deadline. "During which time the female, later identified as Amber Portwood assaulted him, while he was holding their one-year-old child."
While officers have spoken to Portwood and Glennon, it's is unclear at the moment if she remains in custody. The police have stated the case will be reviewed by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
This was not the first time Portwood faces charges. The 29-year old previously served 17 months for domestic violence in 2010 after a fight with her ex-boyfriend, Gary Shirley. The couple shares a 10-year-old daughter. They originally appeared together on MTV's '16 and Pregnant' and 'Teen Mom'.
Portwood has been living with Glennon, and they share a son, James. She and Glennon met on the set of 'Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition' in 2017 and have been dating ever since.
Soon after the recent incident, Shirley took to Twitter to express his sympathy. "My prayers are with @AmberLPortwood, Andrew, & most importantly baby James. Idk any of the particulars, however, I’m thinking of them. And for all the questions and concerns Leah was/is currently camping with her best friend," he tweeted.
