‘Return To Amish’ Sabrina High Arrested On Drug Charges, What It Means For Custody Battle

Another member of the “Return To Amish” cast is in big trouble with the law. Sabrina High was officially booked on charges stemming from drug usage over the weekend.

High, who goes by Sabrina Burkholder off of the TLC reality series, was allegedly booked last week on charges stemming from an incident back in April. According to Starcasm, which received a copy of the police report, Sabrina was booked on charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance, Driving an Unregistered Vehicle, and Use/Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The website reports she still appears to be in custody, and things may genuinely be more serious for her this time around when it comes to her attempts to try and beat her legal problems and retain custody of her daughters, Oakley and Arianna.

At the time of the April offense, Sabrina was in the middle of a year-long probation sentence from a previous charge of Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution, which may have been tied to an incident last year when one of her friends died of a heart attack in her car. Shortly after that August offense, Sabrina took to social media to tell her followers that despite winning back custody of Oakley, she had once again lost her daughter because her friend had died.

Sabrina initially lost custody of Oakley after dealing with her own issues stemming from drug use after Oakley was born. She was absent from the show’s second season in 2015 because of her issues with heroin addiction, which led to her also being homeless. She returned in 2016 and appeared to have become clean and was fighting to regain custody of Oakley once again. She won that battle, but revealed shortly after that Oakley was once again in the custody of the state.

Sabrina also appears on the current fourth season of “Return To Amish,” where she has been preparing to battle for custody of Oakley again, as well as prep for Arianna’s birth as well.

Sabrina isn’t the only member of the show’s cast to currently be facing legal problems. Shortly before the season 4 premiere in April, co-star Jeremiah Raber was arrested and booked on charges of domestic abuse against his wife, Carmela, whom he married on the show’s third season. At the time, it was revealed in the police report that the particular incident he was arrested for wasn’t the first time he had actually abused her.

“On the above date and time [April 22, 2017 at 2:30 PM] during a verbal dispute the defendant did purposefully throw hot coffee onto the lap of his wife. The defendant did make several threats to cause harm [redacted] during the argument,” the report read. “The victim did show me several large bruises on her legs and arms that were caused from the defendant striking her with a closed fist. The victim stated that the defendant strikes her on a daily basis. The defendant and the victim have been residing together [redacted] for the past year.”

TLC has yet to comment on either Jeremiah or Sabrina’s arrests, or what it means for the show’s fate after this season. It isn’t the first time various members of the cast have been in trouble with the law, but the show has continued to be renewed each year.

Conversely, other wildly popular shows were dropped from the cable channel’s lineup when scandals regarding their casts were exposed. “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” a spin-off of “Toddlers and Tiaras” was canceled in 2014 after reports surfaced that Mama June Shannon was dating convicted sex offender Mark McDaniel, who had been arrested, charged and convicted of child molestation after he forced oral sex on one of her relatives. That relative was later identified as her daughter, Anna Cardwell.

Controversy struck the cable channel again one year later when Josh Duggar, one of the stars of the popular “19 Kids And Counting,” franchise was revealed to have been a sex offender as well, after he molested five girls, including some of his siblings as a young boy. The show was not canceled initially, with TLC only pulling episodes from the air. The series was officially canceled in July of that year, though his sisters, Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald, as well as other members of their family, began starring in their own spin-off show, “Counting On.”

“Return To Amish” currently airs on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. on TLC.
