ANDERSON, Ind. — Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is facing domestic violence charges for allegedly attacking the father of her 2-year-old daughter, Leah.
Indiana police have charged the 20-year-old reality star with two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence and battery. She is accused of attacking former boyfriend Gary Shirley in front of their daughter on three separate occasions between August 2009 and July 2010.
Authorities launched a criminal investigation seven weeks ago after Portwood was seen attacking the 24-year-old Shirley on an episode of the MTV show.
If convicted, Portwood faces up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000.
