Overview
- Anna Johnston was arrested for driving under the influence after officers found her parked on the side of a Houston County highway on October 10, 2026, and reported signs of impairment.
- Officers recorded slurred speech, the smell of alcohol, unsteady footing and a preliminary breath test reading of 0.139%, which is above Georgia’s 0.08% legal limit.
- Johnston was booked into the Houston County Jail and released the next day after posting a $1,563 surety bond while further court processing is expected.
- Her companion, 44-year-old Jeffrey Meservey, was arrested at the scene when officers found an outstanding warrant and was later transferred to Bibb County where jail records list multiple forgery charges.
- The arrest drew public attention after a TikTok tip and the publication of arrest reports and mugshots by entertainment outlets, and it lands against Johnston’s recent exit from the TLC series and reported family estrangement.
