A petition to revoke was issued by Red Bank Court, as he was on probation from a prior simple possession charge from March 2017.
A Red Bank clerk confirmed his court date has been set for Monday, January 28. His Hamilton County court date is Wednesday, February 6.
Edwards completed a three-month rehab program for substance abuse after a relapse on Thanksgiving Day.
The MTV star was issued a citation in March 2017 for simple possession of heroin. Police confiscated 14 hypodermic needles. One needle contained heroin.
He checked into rehab after his May 2017 wedding where he was filmed falling asleep at the wheel and slurring his words. He left treatment after 21 days instead of 30.
Then in March 2018, he was arrested for petition to revoke after failing a drug test in January 2018. He tested positive for opiates and morphine in a urine sample.
He was arrested again in July 2018 for breaking probation from a past possession of heroin charge.
He was sentenced in both cases.
