After his 2016 arrest, Casey Aldridge received 12 months probation, per Radar Online. In 2017, when his separation from April Watson made headlines, it was revealed that substance abuse was a major factor in the split. This became clear when Aldridge was arrested in 2019, this time for drug possession.
According to Us Weekly, law enforcement found Aldridge passed out in his car, with drugs including Xanax and lorazepam on his person. Admitting that he’d been struggling with substance abuse “for a while,” Aldridge said, “I’m going to do everything in my power to better myself and not have to go through situations like this and make sure it never happens again. Whatever I need to do to do that — to not let it happen again.”
Aldridge wasn’t with Watson at this time, but his ex-wife jumped in to defend him. Arguing that the arrest didn’t make him “a bad person,” she told Radar Online, “It’s easy to judge someone when you don’t know what they have to deal with on a daily basis or you’ve never dealt with something like this personally.”
Amid the fallout of the arrest, Aldridge said he was worried that his reckless behavior might cause him to lose custody of his daughter Maddie. This thinking might have spurred him forward onto a healthier path, but Aldridge continued to struggle in the year following his drug bust-up.
