“7 Little Johnstons” Star Anna Johnston’s DUI Gets Worse: Boyfriend Arrested Too, Shocking Mugshot Revealed

Yesterday, the news was that 7 Little Johnstons star Anna Johnston had been arrested for DUI. Today, the story got much, much worse — and her now-famous mugshot is only the beginning.

According to the arrest and incident reports obtained by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup and The U.S. Sun, Anna’s boyfriend Jeffrey Meservy, 44, was arrested the very same night — and unlike Anna, he is reportedly still sitting behind bars.

What the Police Report Actually Says

The scene reads like a movie. Officers came upon Anna’s car pulled onto the shoulder of a Georgia highway in the rain. Standing outside in the downpour, according to the report, was a “distressed” Jeffrey — on the phone, trying to get friends to come pick them up so Anna wouldn’t have to drive any further.

Why? Per the report, Jeffrey told officers he was “upset due to Anna driving them around with alcohol in her system.” The disagreement between the couple escalated until Anna pulled the vehicle over. Anna, however, told officers a different story — that the argument was simply about which GPS route to take, with her wanting the back roads and Jeffrey wanting the interstate.

The officer wasn’t buying it. According to the report, Anna’s speech was “slurred,” she was slightly unsteady on her feet, and there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from both her and the vehicle. Jeffrey’s cousin, who was also in the car, reportedly told cops Anna had a shot of alcohol about an hour before driving — a claim Anna denied when officers asked her directly.

The field sobriety test didn’t go well, according to reports: Anna had trouble following with her gaze, couldn’t properly complete the walk-and-turn, and swayed during the one-leg stand. The breathalyzer came back at BAC 0.139 — well over Georgia’s 0.08 legal limit. She was arrested for Driving Under the Influence, spent the night in the Houston County Jail, and was released the next day on a $1,563 bond.

Jeffrey Was Arrested Too — And He’s Still Behind Bars

Here is the twist nobody saw coming. While talking to the couple, officers asked Jeffrey for his ID. When they ran it, according to the reports, an outstanding warrant popped up in another county — and Jeffrey was taken to the detention center alongside Anna while his cousin drove the car away.

And Jeffrey’s night didn’t end there. The U.S. Sun reports that, per jail records, Jeffrey is being held in the Bibb County Jail on a $47,350 bond on 13 counts of misdemeanor forgery — and as of the report’s publication, he was still behind bars.

This is also not Jeffrey’s first arrest. Per earlier reporting, he was picked up in October 2025 for theft by conversion in Houston County. That’s the man who was publicly introduced to fans as Anna’s “forever crush” just weeks ago.

The Mugshot That Broke the Internet

When Anna reached the detention center, she reportedly grinned wide for her mugshot — a beaming smile in a black tank top, front and profile. The photo has gone viral, and fan reaction has been, to put it mildly, split.

Some fans can’t stop laughing at the absurdity of it. Most, however, are stunned — not just by the smile, but by how quickly Anna’s fresh start unraveled. Just weeks ago, she was introducing her new boyfriend to the world. Now they’re both in jail records within hours of each other.

What This Means for the Family Feud

The family side of this is what the fandom is really bracing for. As The Ashley noted, Anna remains estranged from Trent, Amber, and her siblings — a rift discussed on the show’s new season. Liz Johnston recently gave an interview about fixing the estrangement, and Anna reportedly clapped back at it.

One fan summed up the dread across the group: Trent and Amber are going to have “a field day with this.” Others aren’t laughing — they say there was simply no excuse, that at 26 Anna could have called an Uber, and that she got lucky nobody was hurt.

Then there’s the harder question a growing camp is asking: for the fans who have defended Anna against her parents for years — do these new details force a rethink about whether Trent and Amber’s concerns had some truth behind them?

Neither Anna, her family, nor TLC has commented publicly so far. With new details still emerging, this story is far from over.

So tell us: is this just a young woman spiraling amid a family crisis — or does getting behind the wheel at a .139 BAC, then grinning for the camera, cross a line that no amount of family drama can excuse? Drop your take in the comments.
