Previous domestic violence charges

MTV have previously aired footage of Amber's violence towards her ex Gary Shirley.

In 2010 police investigated footage and searched Amber's apartment.

Authorities found drugs on the property and further footage resulted in three domestic violence charges.

In 2011, Amber was arrested for possession and further charged for violating probation relating to earlier charges.

She pleaded guilty and was given a five-year suspended sentence.
