After being booked into jail under the felony charge of "terroristic threats and acts," Whitney was released the next day on a $5,000 bond

In Whitney's mugshot, she looked worlds away from the young and sprightly teen the world saw when she first appeared on 16 and Pregnant.

At this time, more details about the exact nature and events of the alleged incident have not been revealed.

Whitney, 31, was wearing a baggy, dark gray t-shirt, her hair seemed unbrushed, and she appeared to be tired and grim.

Whitney did not immediately respond to The Sun's request for comment. 

Starcasm was the first to report on the arrest.

According to Starcasm, the ex-Teen Mom star posted on Facebook in November: "One month and I'm so proud. Not to be cheesy, but after two really rough years, I'm finally starting to love and believe in myself again.

"I truly apologize if you've met me or had to deal with me during this toxic period. I was a really lost, hurt, angry, and traumatized person with some pretty terrible coping mechanisms and didn't know how to deal with any of what life was throwing at me.

She continued: "Never underestimate the power of therapy, self discipline, and God."

Whitney concluded: "Time to finally grow and live up to my potential and learn to stop self-sabotaging (and I lost 15 pounds, 15 more and I'm at my weight goal!)."

THROUGH THE YEARS

Whitney has still maintained a solid social media presence through the years.

In her Instagram profile's bio, she said she is the owner of a catering company, Crocadilly Catering.

She often posts photos of her son Weston, 12, her culinary creations and glammed up selfies.

Whitney shares Weston with Weston Lewis Gosa, who was also featured beside her on season one of the franchise.
