Ryan Edwards Relapsed Right After Rehab, Source Claims

Following his arrest last summer, Ryan Edwards checked into a rehab facility for a stint of 90 days. The time away cost the former Teen Mom star significantly, considering he missed the birth of his second son. But it was for a worthwhile cause, right? If it meant the ex-MTV personality would get clean and sober and be there for his family for the rest of his life? If it had worked out that way, yes. Absolutely. But a source now tells Radar Online that Edwards relapsed almost as soon as he left the aforementioned facility, a claim that does jibe with what we heard in early December: That Edwards was spotted out and about , drinking heavily. “He was good for about a week [and] then went back to hanging out with the same people that do drugs and go out in all the bars,” an insider alleges to this website, adding: “He wasn’t any better since he got out of rehab.” Earlier this month, Edwards was arrested on charges of theft and heroin possession . It marked the third time he’s been taken into custody due to drug use or ownership. According to the police report, Ryan skipped out on a bar tab of $36 after consuming six drinks, only to be tracked down by local authorities in Tennessee. He was placed behind bars and will now be stuck in county jail until April . Radar writes that Edwards “fell right back” into alcohol use once he was free from rehab last fall,” explaining: “The sad thing about our town is that you can go to rehab, but those same people are still here doing the same stuff.” It can be difficult to move on from your past when surrounded by reminders of it, this is so very true. Ryan’s wife, Mackenzie, has shared multiple photos (above and below, for example) of Edwards and their new son, Jagger, on Instagram, trying to pretend as if everything went back to normal as soon as he returned home. But it’s clear now this was a facade. Does this mean Mackenzie will leave Ryan at last? Is the marriage in jeopardy? Has she come to her senses? No, no and no, sources say. “She’s going to get over it,” this informant says. “She doesn’t care at this point. She’s all in with him.” That’s pretty sad, huh? Mackenzie may think she’s doing what’s best for her child, but is forgiving Ryan every time he messes up really what’s best for the family? It’s clear he hasn’t learned his lesson and clear he has a significant problem. There’s a fine line between being there at all times for the one you love and enabling a drug addict, you know? Be careful walking it, Mac. As for how Maci Bookout feels about Ryan’s latest run-in with the law? Click below to find out. View Slideshow: Maci Bookout Reacts to Ryan Edwards Arrest: D’uh!

In 1990, he once again soared to the top with “I Don’t Have the Heart.” But if you really want to talk about his biggest impact, you need to talka bout his soundtrack work. In 1986, Ingram did a notable duet with Linda Ronstadt for the animated film,  An Amiercan Tai l. That song? “Somewhere Out There.” One of the most famous songs of all time. The song reached Number 2 on the pop chart. It also won the Grammy award for Song of the Year — though the award went to songwriters James Horner and Cynthia Weil.

Ryan Edwards to Remain Behind Bars Until AT LEAST April!

More bad news for Ryan Edwards, as the Teen Mom OG star continues to experience major fallout from his latest brush with the law. Last week, Edwards was arrested after skipping out on a $36 tab at a bar near his hometown in Tennessee. Because of an outstanding bench warrant and the fact that Edwards was on probation at the time of his arrest, his relatively minor theft of services charge could carry some major legal consequences. Ryan has been denied bail, and will therefore remain in police custody for the foreseeable future. “The case has been continued to April 15, 2019,” a judicial clerk for the town of Red Bank, Tennessee tells Radar.  “He’s going to serve time in county jail until then.” Yes, that means Ryan will be spending at least the next six weeks behind bars. After that, a judge will decide his fate — and considering the length of Ryan’s rap sheet, the father of two is likely very concerned at the moment. Edwards has been arrested four times in the past two years. Most of the charges against him are tied to his ongoing substance abuse issues. Back in November, Edwards left rehab after completing a 90-day course of treatment. Those who know the troubled 30-year-old best say that he appeared to be fully committed to the hard work of sobriety. Edwards missed the birth of his son Jagger in order to see his treatment through to its completion. His young wife Mackenzie Standifer described Ryan’s time in rehab as the longest 90 days of her life, but she remained persistent in her belief that it would all be worth if her husband were to finally get clean. On his social media page, Edwards wrote that drugs had nearly ruined his life , and he cautioned fans against following the dangerous path that had led him to the brink of destruction. Truly, it seemed as though Ryan has turned a corner. Unfortunately, less than two months after his release, Edwards was once again behaving erratically and running afoul of the law.  “Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them,” reads a police report from the day of his arrest. Ryan has a court date for the theft of services charge in early February, but he will not be tried for the possession charge until April. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank (6 Whiskeys!), He Dashed, He Got Caught
