Amber Portwood<\/a><\/strong> is in trouble with the law again and is back behind bars.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Teen Mom<\/em> star was arrested and booked in jail on Friday on a domestic battery charge in her native Indiana, legal records show. The alleged victim was not named and more details were not provided. A hearing has been set for next week.<\/p>\n

Portwood’s boyfriend Andrew Glennon<\/strong>, father of one of her two children, one-year-old son James<\/strong>, has not commented.<\/p>\n

Portwood has gotten into trouble with the law several times in past years.<\/p>\n

In 2010, she was arrested and charged with felony domestic battery and neglect of a dependent, and misdemeanor domestic battery after allegedly slapping and choking now-ex-fianc\u00e9 Gary Shirley<\/strong> in front of their toddler daughter, Leah<\/strong>, now 10. The fights were captured on video for Teen Mom<\/em> and viewers called the Indiana child-abuse hotline after the show aired, according to the Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Portwood spent the night in jail, while a judge issued a temporary restraining order to keep her and her ex away from each other.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In late 2011, Portwood was arrested again, this time for violating the terms of her probation by being accused of battery and public intoxication in connection with a fight weeks prior, and failing to obtain her GED and complete anger management classes, according to Indiana newspaper the Herald Bulletin<\/a><\/em>. Following a probation search, authorities found several different prescription pills in her possession, for which she could not produce prescriptions, and she spent Christmas in jail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Portwood was sentenced to five years in prison<\/a> for prescription drug possession and the probation violation, but was offered a plea deal under which she would avoid jail time if she go to rehab. Months later, she was back behind bars for failing to appear at a court hearing<\/a>, She was released temporarily<\/a> and then was booked again a week later<\/a> on contempt-of-court charges.<\/p>\n

Portwood ultimately chose to serve out her five-year prison term<\/a> rather than comply with the terms of her court-ordered drug program.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In November 2013, the Teen Mom star was released from jail early<\/a> for good behavior after spending less than two years behind bars. According to the jail’s spokesperson, Portwood participated in a substance abuse program while in prison.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
