Overview
- Bella Vaughn’s mother, Falen Vaughn, was arrested Monday outside Hunter Johnson’s father’s home in Crawford County, Arkansas on charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental operations.
- A police affidavit says an officer told her to stay back, she ignored the command, and the officer arrested her out of concern for another officer’s safety.
- She posted a $440 bond that night and, after entering a not guilty plea on Wednesday, had a Thursday hearing canceled with a pre-trial date now set for August 6.
- Her attorney sent a spoliation letter in the custody case seeking to preserve electronic records, including any Ring camera footage from April 20 and messages involving Casey Johnson, Falen, and Bella.
- The arrest unfolded within an active custody fight in which Hunter’s father, Casey Johnson, has asked the court to recognize Hunter as baby Wes’s legal father and to award him custody, building on a prior temporary order that split Hunter’s time and set conduct limits.
