Amber Portwood Back to Jail

Published | Updated

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood is back in an Indiana jail cell ... after prosecutors claimed she LIED about having a medical condition to get out of her weekly drug court appointment.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Portwood was a no-show at drug court last week ... after telling officials she was on doctor-ordered bed rest following laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Our sources say Amber's attorney told the court she was ordered to remain in bed for 2-3 weeks.

But here's the rub -- we're told Amber's case manager didn't want to take Amber's word for it ... and spoke to the doctor directly ... who called B.S. on the reality star and insisted she WAS well enough to attend her court obligations.

Amber was immediately hauled back to jail for missing the appointment -- and we're told she's expected to stay behind bars for a couple of weeks ... until a judge decides what to do with her.

'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood Ordered to Pay Up After Mooching Off Poor People

Published | Updated

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood has been ordered by a judge to pony up some cash to the rental home company who was suing to evict her ... after the reality star was caught free-loading off government housing.

As TMZ first reported, while Portwood was still rotting in jail, a rental company sued her for eviction after they discovered she lied about her "low-income" (she made $280K in 2010) ... which disqualified her from their subsidized government housing.

An Indiana judge ruled this month in the rental company's favor after Amber never even bothered to respond to the suit. Portwood must pay the company $673 within 30 days or risk further legal action.

Of course if she can't find the cash ... jail is free.

Amber Portwood Drug Test Violator

Published | Updated

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood done screwed up again -- TMZ has learned, she failed to take a required drug test ... and could face the 5-year prison sentence she narrowly dodged in January.

TMZ broke the story ... Amber was sentenced to 5 years in prison after her December drug arrest -- but the judge promised to dismiss the entire case if she completes a drug program ... a stipulation that includes daily drug testing.

Amber's been doing great -- but on Monday, she torpedoed all her progress ... by failing to provide a urine sample during a routine drug test while she serves time on home detention.

Sources tell TMZ, Amber failed to provide a urine sample because she simply couldn't go at the time -- but life's not fair ... and no pee counts as a failed test ... no matter what.

Amber's due in court Thursday for a weekly check-up with the judge -- and she'll have to answer for the failed test. If he wants, the judge is within his power to throw the book at her ... locking her up for her original 5-year sentence.

Jenelle Evans Arrested AGAIN ... For Stalking

Published | Updated

Call her DMX ... because "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans' mug shot collection nearly rivals the rapper's -- after the 20-year-old was arrested AGAIN today in North Carolina ... for stalking.

A rep for the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office claims Evans was arrested as a result of an outstanding warrant against her for cyberstalking. We're told Evans turned herself in to authorities after learning about the warrant.

It's unclear who Jenelle was allegedly harassing on the Internet -- but sources tell TMZ, the charge stems from an ongoing feud between Jenelle and her old roommate, who has previously accused Jenelle of harassment.

Jenelle was booked on misdemeanor stalking in Bolivia, NC. She has since been released on $1,000 bond.

Calls to Jenelle's camp were not immediately returned.

Amber Portwood STRICT Home Detention Rules

Published | Updated

Amber Portwood's home detention rules are so strict -- HOW STRICT ARE THEY??? -- not only is she barred from drinking alcohol ... but she can't even use mouthwash that contains alcohol or eat foods containing alcohol. Kiss that rum cake goodbye!

As TMZ first reported, the "Teen Mom" star was denied entry into a halfway house because they thought she'd be a bad influence on the other residents. So now Amber is on home detention with her grandparents until a new drug treatment program accepts her.

But this isn't your typical trip to grandma's house. According to the rules laid out by the Madison County courts ... Amber, since she is without a job, must remain inside the home at ALL TIMES unless she gets prior authorization (even then it has to be for things like AA meetings or attorney appointments).

The rules dictate she can't consume alcohol or illicit drugs, but the no-no list also includes non-alcoholic beer, any medications containing alcohol (R.I.P. NyQuil) and the aforementioned mouthwash or foods that contain alcohol.

Amber also has to have a working phone at all times and she has to be the one who answers, should the home detention people come calling.

If she violates any of the rules ... it's back to jail for her.

Amber Portwood To Be Released from Jail ... TODAY

Published | Updated

It's been over two months since "Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood was locked up for drug possession -- but TMZ has learned, she's set to be released from jail TODAY ... though it's not exactly a good thing.

Law enforcement sources tell us, the Indiana judge in her drug case is going to release Amber today for one reason and one reason only -- the halfway house where Amber was supposed to complete a drug treatment program has refused to accept her.

According to sources, people at the transitional home -- called Sister 2 Sister Ministries -- felt Portwood is too much of a handful and embodies too much negative energy to benefit from its program.

Since no one else wants her -- the judge decided to release her today ... with an electronic monitoring bracelet.

But Amber's not out of the woods -- we're told the judge will still require her to apply for residency at another home ... but that process could take months.

Amber will remain on home detention until a different drug treatment program accepts her.

Amber Portwood Judge Deals Crushing Blow to 'Teen Mom' Career

Published | Updated

Amber Portwood's "Teen Mom" career is teetering on the edge of extinction ... because an Indiana judge has imposed a sentence that makes it next to impossible for Amber to appear on the MTV show anytime soon.

Portwood was in court yesterday to deal with the fallout of a recent drug arrest -- and hammered out details in a plea deal that will keep her out of the slammer ... as long as she doesn't screw up.

According to law enforcement sources ... Amber has been ordered to live in a halfway house for up to 3 years and get a court approved 9-to-5 job that she must attend at least 5 days a week.

We're told "Teen Mom" will NOT count as a job. PLUS, the judge has banned Portwood from taping any MTV project while staying at the halfway house, working her job or appearing in court. Doesn't leave Amber much room for reality TV.

Also, Amber is not allowed to tape anything while hanging out with any other girls who also live at the halfway house.

We're told the judge reached out to MTV ... and the network assured the court it would not sue Amber for breaking her contract with the show because of the sentencing ... a sure sign they are planning on moving on from her story.

Amber Portwood Allegedly Evicted For Conning the Government

Published | Updated

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood was tossed out of her Indiana home last month for scamming the government and mooching off taxpayer money -- this according to law enforcement sources.

Here's how it breaks down -- according to Amber's lease agreement, obtained by TMZ, the house she was renting in Anderson, Indiana had been subsidized by the state's "Low Income Rental Housing Tax Credit Program."

Problem is, in order to enroll in the program -- a prerequisite for moving in -- the reality star claimed she made roughly $10,000 a year ... MUCH less than what she actually earned in 2010 ... $280,000.

According to sources, Amber's massive income rendered her ineligible for subsidized housing -- no duh -- and that's the reason her landlords evicted her.

It doesn't really matter though -- Amber's still locked up in jail, awaiting final approval to enter a court-appointed drug rehab program.

If Amber successfully completes the Madison County Drug Court program, her drug case will be entirely dismissed -- but if she screws up, she'll be thrown in the slammer.

As we first reported, Amber was arrested in December for drug possession and failing to provide a urine sample (a stipulation of her probation).

Amber will remain in custody pending a full evaluation by the Drug Court team -- which we're told could take up to two weeks. Once accepted into the program, the judge will release her.
