Amanda Conner Arrested on DUI and Child Abuse Charges

Her public admission of relapse, together with court-ordered monitoring, heightens legal risks over custody before a June 3 hearing.

Overview

  • Hamilton County officers arrested Conner after a 911 call on Sunday, May 24, and charged her with DUI, child abuse/neglect for allegedly driving with her infant in the car, and traffic-related offenses.
  • She was released on a reported $16,000 bond and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device with no contact allowed with daughter Presley until her court date on June 3.
  • Conner posted a TikTok video admitting she relapsed after three years of sobriety, apologizing publicly and saying she will document her recovery and meet with a lawyer.
  • Family members have publicly accused Ryan Edwards of past physical violence in videos and Conner told police she wanted to retrieve belongings while alleging a history of abuse; those claims are reported but not proven in court.
  • Legal experts note a child-in-vehicle DUI can trigger separate criminal counts and a mandatory Child Protective Services inquiry, which could affect custody and prompt a home investigation as the criminal case proceeds.
