July 5 (UPI) — “Teen Mom OG” star Amber Portwood has been arrested.
People confirmed the 29-year-old television personality was arrested early Friday morning on domestic battery charges.
TMZ said Portwood was arrested in Indianapolis, Ind., shortly before 6 a.m. Police have not released the name of the alleged victim.
