'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.

'Teen Mom' Star Amber Portwood Gets Huge Tattoo of Daughter

'Teen Mom' star Amber Portwood continues to make headlines--though this time it's not for getting arrested, underage drinking or having her daughter taken away. On Friday, RadarOnline.com released an exclusive photo featuring Portwood sporting a full-torso tattoo--of her 2-year-old daughter Leah.

In an effort to help show that she loves her daughter and never wants her taken away again, Portwood showed off a colorful tattoo that features Leah's face surrounded by roses. The tattoo looks incomplete, with some of the flowers not fully colored in.

A source tells RadarOnline that it's her first tattoo and that "she got the tattoo as a way to show her commitment to Leah."

Portwood's had some tough times recently. She was charged with felony domestic violence after hitting Leah's father, Gary Shirley, on an episode of 'Teen Mom.' Then the Department of Child Protective Services got involved and her daughter was temporarily made a ward of the state. Leah was recently returned to Portwood after she cleaned up her house and bought her a bed.
If found guilty of the domestic violence charges, Portwood could face up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000.

Reports: 'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood Pregnant With Second Child

After making headlines for assaulting former fiance Gary Shirley and alleged underage drinking, 'Teen Mom' star Amber Portwood is back in the spotlight.

Both Star and In Touch are reporting that the troubled 20-year-old is pregnant with her second child.

Portwood, who recently regained custody of her 2-year-old daughter, Leah, reportedly discovered that she was pregnant just over a week ago, but is uncertain who the father might be.

Despite the acrimonious nature of her relationship with Shirley, Portwood is allegedly hoping that he, and not her current boyfriend, Clinton Yunker, is the father.

"She thinks they're meant to be together," says Star's source.
While Portwood loves being a mother, and has the gigantic stomach tattoo to prove it, she's not ready for another child.

"Amber is scared to death about what's to come," the source tells Star. "She adores Leah, but she doesn't really want to be tied down with another baby."
