Vaughn's arrest comes after she was involved in a legal battle over custody of her grandson, Bella and Hunter's child Wesley Kristopher Dean Vaughn-Johnson.
In a complaint filed on April 8, Hunter's father, Casey Johnson, asked a Crawford County Circuit Court judge to give him custody of baby Wesley.

Johnson accused Vaughn's household of failing to 'provide adequate oversight and enforce reasonable boundaries' on Bella, which he claimed led to 'immature decision-making and conduct without appropriate adult intervention.'
Johnson claimed that Wesley was therefore 'at risk' at Vaughn's home.
In a response from her attorney, Vaughn denied Johnson's claims that Bella wasn't receiving proper oversight, and she denied Johnson's allegations about her decision-making and conduct.
On Tuesday, Johnson's attorney filed a motion requesting a temporary hearing on his request to determine temporary custody, visitation and child support.
