TEEN Mom: The Next Chapter star Ryan Edwards was all smiles with his girlfriend, Amanda Conner, as the two arrived to court for his hearing.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

Ryan, 36, and Amanda, 33, arrived to Hamilton County General Sessions Court on Tuesday, April 23 for a check-in hearing for Ryan’s possession of a controlled substance, DUI and simple possession charges.<\/p>\n

In exclusive photos obtained by The U.S. Sun, Ryan and Amanda could be seen smiling and laughing as they walked to the court room.<\/p>\n

The two appeared happy as they walked close to each other.<\/p>\n

Ryan wore a purple polo shirt with black dress pants for the hearing, while Amanda dressed in a pink shirt and high-waisted white jeans.<\/p>\n

The Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star sported a black eye and a cut on his arm, which is likely from a recent ATV accident.<\/p>\n

His mother, Jen, and aunt joined them moments later, as she sat with Amanda while Ryan spoke to his lawyer.<\/p>\n

While in the courtroom, Amanda sat next to Ryan and Jen, as the two chatted before the hearing began.<\/p>\n

‘WELL DONE’<\/h2>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

The U.S. Sun reported exclusively from the hearing that Judge Gary Starnes praised Ryan in court.<\/p>\n

\"They<\/p>\n

Judge Starnes said, “We’re here for a follow-up to see how you’re doing. I don\u2019t see any probation violations. You have been drug-free for over a year. That\u2019s an accomplishment. I\u2019m glad you\u2019re doing well.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s lawyer then handed over paperwork for his counseling from CADAS rehab.<\/p>\n

Judge Starnes said, “I want you to stay with CADAS. I know there hasn\u2019t been any problems.”<\/p>\n

Ryan was originally\u00a0sentenced to 11 months and 29 days\u00a0in Silverdale Detention Center in April 2023 for the possession of a controlled substance, simple possession and driving under the influence charges.<\/p>\n

He was\u00a0released to rehab in July\u00a0and to a halfway house in August, where he\u00a0met his girlfriend Amanda.<\/p>\n

RYAN\u2019S PAST ARRESTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ryan has been in and out of jail since early 2023 on drug, harassment, and other charges.<\/p>\n

He was\u00a0arrested on February 10, 2023 at his job for harassment, possession of\u00a0drug\u00a0paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and order of protection violation.<\/p>\n

He was then\u00a0arrested for aggravated stalking.<\/p>\n

He violated a protection order on March 1 after authorities\u00a0issued two warrants for his arrest\u00a0on February 23.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u00a0pleaded guilty to the harassment charge\u00a0at a court hearing,\u00a0The Ashley’s Reality Roundup\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

The MTV star was ordered to complete rehab treatment and have no contact with the victim, as he was put on probation for 11 months and 29 days.<\/p>\n

The possession of drug paraphernalia, stalking and order of protection violation charges were dismissed.<\/p>\n

As for his possession of a controlled substance, he was sentenced to rehab with the option of the time being reduced for good behavior after six months.<\/p>\n

He was then arrested on April 7 for possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence arrest, which are the same charges as his current court case, after he was\u00a0found unconscious in the driver\u2019s seat of his truck.<\/p>\n

NEW ROMANCE<\/h2>\n

Ryan and Amanda began dating over the\u00a0summer of 2023\u00a0while in rehab.<\/p>\n

Ryan completed 28 days in CADAS in July 2023 and then moved into Oasis halfway home.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Sun obtained exclusive photos of\u00a0Ryan and Amanda walking from their halfway house, which is on the same property as CADAS rehab, to the main building for group therapies and workshops on August 15, 2023.<\/p>\n

“They met and started seeing each other at rehab. He doesn\u2019t take anyone on his bike unless it\u2019s a thing. No friends [are allowed],\u201d a source told The U.S. Sun at the time.<\/p>\n

The source continued, \u201cChoosing to use your time on and the type of people you\u2019re surrounding yourself with is not okay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis girl is dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source close to Amanda previously told The U.S. Sun that she is known in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for her “bad girl reputation.”<\/p>\n

The insider claimed, \u201cAmanda is trouble. She has been in and out of the system since she was old enough to catch a charge. She is not a good influence on Ryan.\u201d<\/p>\n

CRIMINAL HISTORY<\/h2>\n

The U.S. Sun obtained\u00a0court records from a series of Amanda\u2019s arrests.<\/p>\n

Amanda’s arrests include theft under $500 in February 2009, where she received a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days and was placed on probation, according to the Hamilton County Court website.<\/p>\n

In June 2016, she was arrested for theft of property.<\/p>\n

She received the same judgment of a suspended sentence of 11 months and 29 days.<\/p>\n

On September 22, 2016, Amanda was arrested on multiple warrants.<\/p>\n

The incident report read, \u201cUpon arriving to Hamilton County Jail, Amanda was subject to a strip search due to a history of narcotics charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cFemale jail staff found a small zip lock plastic bag containing a white crystal substance that [Conner] stated was meth. The bag was located in [Conner\u2019s] bra.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe substance is consistent with meth with an approximate weight of less than [half] a gram.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was charged with simple possession.\u00a0She had a bond set at $6,000 and she pleaded guilty on March 23, 2017.<\/p>\n

She received a jail sentence of 11 months and 29 days.<\/p>\n

In August 2017, she was arrested again for possession of controlled substance.<\/p>\n

She pleaded guilty and was ordered to CADAS rehab.<\/p>\n

Amanda was then arrested by the Chattanooga Police Department on April 25, 2018, after a call was made for a suspicious person at a\u00a0CVS.<\/p>\n

The report read, \u201cAnother officer conducted a pat down of the female suspect. [The officer] located a small lump in the left side of [Conner\u2019s] bra. When asked about it, she offered to remove it from her bra.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe removed a small clear baggy of methamphetamine from her bra and a small clear baggy of light tan power that appeared to be heroin.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the vehicle, the officer found spoons and small clear plastic bags \u201ccommonly used for selling narcotics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report continued, \u201cDuring the interview, [Conner] gave a spontaneous utterance that she sells narcotics.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was arrested and charged with possession of controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Amanda entered a guilty plea on July 12, 2018, and received a sentence of 11 months and 29 days in jail.<\/p>\n

The sentence was suspended and to be served on probation because of good behavior.<\/p>\n

On June 31, 2022, an officer from the Hamilton County Sheriff\u2019s Office stopped Amanda when he observed no registration displayed on her car.<\/p>\n

The report read, \u201cThe above violator owned marijuana, drug paraphernalia and multiple food stamp cards and debit cards that belonged to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and fraudulent use of credit\/debit card.<\/p>\n

The possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia were dismissed by the District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

For the fraud charge, she received a suspended sentence for good behavior for 11 months and 29 days to be completed in probation.<\/p>\n

On June 21, 2023, the Hamilton County Sheriff\u2019s Office arrested Amanda on warrants for driving under the influence, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

These charges are what landed her at CADAS rehab at the same time as Ryan.<\/p>\n

Most recently, she was busted on August 19, 2023 for drugs general category for resale, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and contraband in a penal institution.<\/p>\n

All charges were dismissed by the District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Amanda did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment at the time.<\/p>\n

TURNING THEIR LIVES AROUND<\/h2>\n

Amanda appears to have turned her life around as well, as she has not been involved in any legal trouble in recent months.<\/p>\n

They even took a\u00a0family photo together with Ryan’s son Bentley, 15, and his mom Maci Bookout and stepdad Taylor McKinney on Easter.<\/p>\n

Amanda and Ryan are\u00a0now living together\u00a0as of earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The two often post each other riding their motorcycles and fishing.<\/p>\n
