The dad-of-two was arrested in January after he allegedly walked out of a bar without paying his $36 bill in December 2018. The bartender reportedly recognised Edwards from previous mugshots and called the police. He was arrested weeks later. 

Edwards, 31, was also arrested and charged in 2017 for heroin possession which stemmed from an outstanding warrant. The reality TV star has long battled with substance abuse and completed his most recent stint in rehab in December 2018. Although he missed the birth of his son Jagger while in treatment, the star was able to spend Christmas with his wife Mackenzie Standifer Edwards and their newborn.
