RadarOnline.com has dug up new details about Amanda Peterson's troubles with booze, drugs and the law in the years before she tragically passed away.

On July 5, police found Peterson dead at just 43 in her Greely, Colo., home.

Loved ones of the former actress, who walked away from Hollywood in the late 1980s, insisted she suffered "medical issues" and that her death wasn't from a drug overdose.

However, RadarOnline.com can reveal that Peterson has had a very sketchy past.

Peterson was again busted for driving under the influence in April 2012 and also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
