Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and her husband, Courtland Rodgers, were arrested in North Carolina on Tuesday, April 23 for an alleged heroin possession along with other illegal paraphernalia and for assault.
Cops responded to a call on an alleged domestic dispute when they discovered 12 bindles (small paper packets) of heroin in Evans possession. She is facing an assault charge because she hit her husband with a piece of furniture.
Cops say that Rodgers, 27, also had heroin in his possession with the intent to manufacture and sell. He is facing an assault charge as well because he hit Evans, 21, on the neck and with a closed fist on her head.
Dustin R.T. Sullivan, Evans lawyer, confirmed with E! that the married couple have been court ordered to stay away from each other. "The order to stay away was from yesterday. She was ordered to stay away from him and he is ordered to stay away as well."
If the couple violates this order, they both could face up to 30 days of jail time.
The 21 year-old mom had been hit with a warrant for failure to pay child support, but according to Sullivan, that had been taken cared of. "She paid her child support yesterday. It was about $360."
The reality star will have to attend a hearing for the drug charges in the Brunswick County District Court on May 14 and will go back to court on June 3 for the assault charges.
According to Sullivan, the couple can not have any communication with each other until the case is completely settled.
