Casey Johnson Arrested on Misdemeanor Battery and Child Endangerment Charges

The arrest adds new court filings to a long-running family custody fight and leads to a scheduled arraignment this fall.

Overview

  • Van Buren police arrested Casey Johnson on Thursday on counts of third-degree domestic battering and third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor; he posted a $3,500 bond and was released hours later.
  • Court records show the charges were formally filed by July 24 and an arraignment has been set for October 5.
  • Reports do not identify any alleged victims and police and media accounts say limited information is available at this time.
  • The arrest follows months of family legal conflict, including a May ruling that awarded Casey full custody of his son Hunter and an April incident that led to the arrest of Falen Vaughn.
  • Because the family is publicly known from the TLC series Unexpected, this development could affect ongoing custody litigation and will likely draw further scrutiny as the case moves through court.
