Edwards was taken into custody just three weeks prior for several charges, including harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance. Additionally, "a Petition to Violate was filed with the Hamilton County Magistrate's Office who will set a bond for the Order of Protection Violation," according to the sheriff's department's Friday, February 10, press release about the first arrest.

Standifer had reported her estranged husband to the police after he took to social media with "revealing photos" of the 26-year-old that showcased her bare chest.

"If you guys have never seen a spineless s*** this is one. They take your money, sleep with anything that looks at them. But they must have a wife to [sic]. God what a joke. It’s sad really," Edwards captioned the since-deleted images from early February.

Edwards' most recent arrest comes just two days after Standifer filed for divorce from the former reality star on Monday, February 27, as OK! previously reported.

Standifer tied the knot with Edwards in 2017, with the divorce coming after years of a rocky relationship.

The duo experienced trouble in paradise fairly quickly after saying "I Do," as a source revealed their marital problems way back in 2018 — when Standifer was pregnant with their first child together, OK! reported at the time.

"Ryan and Mackenzie are off and on. Things are way worse than they seem. Neither one can stand each other!" the insider confessed.

"She just sticks around for the paycheck," the source claimed.
