They say life is slower in Tennessee, but apparently not if you’re Ryan Edwards!
The Teen Mom star appeared in court twice this week to deal with a number of serious charges, the latest being a major speeding ordeal!
As you might recall, Ryan was arrested on October 7, according to The Ashley, and cited for speeding, reckless driving, and failure to exercise due care. Well, on Wednesday, he was found guilty of speeding 145 mph (!!!) in a 65 mph zone and reckless driving for this incident, a Chattanooga City Court Clerk confirmed to The US Sun. The exercise due care charge was dropped for “good behavior” — which is kinda hard to understand once we break all this legal drama down!
But before that, what are the consequences of this guilty verdict? He has to pay $134 in court costs/fines and is due back in court on February 6. Not so bad, honestly, especially for speeding that much!

As mentioned, this was his second court issue this week. Two days earlier, he appeared in court to plead guilty to driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance (with a simple possession charge dropped via a plea deal) from an April arrest. He agreed to plead guilty in order to receive a suspended jail sentence of 11 months and 29 days to be completed on probation. He also must undergo “level two” drug tests and return to Chattanooga to have them done should he be out of town for work — or else he’d be violating his probation.
The lawyer for the state wasn’t thrilled with this plan because of his latest speeding incident, arguing:
