'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood in Jail Following Felony Charges

Just hours after it was announced there was a warrant out for her arrest, 'Teen Mom' star Amber Portwood surrendered to Indiana police on domestic abuse charges, TMZ.com reports.

The reality TV star allegedly attacked Gary Shirley, the father of her little girl Leah, three times in 2009 and 2010--one altercation caught on tape as MTV filmed 'Teen Mom.'

Portwood has been charged with two felony counts of domestic battery and one felony count of neglect of a dependent. She was also charged with a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. She's been placed on a 24-hour hold and her bail has been set at $5,000.

"Amber is scared. Gary is here with us. He's upset, too. It's just been awful because we were supposed to have Christmas all together with my mom today and [the cops] picked her up an hour before," Portwood's brother, Shawn, told E!Online.com.

Portwood faces up to three years in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
