Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards’ wife Amanda Conner was arrested near Chattanooga, Tennessee on Sunday in connection with driving under the influence and child abuse/neglect.
Conner, 35, was also charged in connection with driving on the wrong side of the road, according to records from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office reviewed by the Daily Mail.
The bond for Conner – who shares daughter Presley Sage Elianna, one, with Edwards – was set at $16,000 in connection with the incident, officials told TMZ.
She is slated to attend a court hearing June 3 in the matter, authorities told the outlet, and is mandated to cease contact with the child who was involved in the incident until that time.
Conner is also prohibited from getting in touch with whoever has the child in their care.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Conner, Edwards, the Chattanooga Police Department and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for further details on the story.

According to audio from a dispatcher exchange in the incident, a husband said ‘his wife left with their baby in’ a 2017 white Toyota Forerunner.
The dispatcher, who did not use specific names, said the husband believed his wife was ‘under the influence of narcotics … because she refused to take a drug test’ to prove otherwise.
Edwards and Conner’s relationship began three years ago while they were both patients at a drug rehab facility in Chattanooga.
They tied the knot in September of 2025 in Hamilton County, Tennessee.
The nuptials came weeks after Edwards had his divorce from ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer, 29, finalized.
The former couple, who had wed in 2017, are parents to son Jagger, seven, and daughter Stella, six.
Edwards is also father to son Bentley, 17, with ex Maci Bookout; while Conner has a son named Brandon from a past relationship.
Edwards and Conner last year announced their engagement in January and welcomed daughter Presley on February 12, 2025.
