In 2019, the couple were arrested following a domestic dispute, and shortly after, Geno and Mama June were charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
June described how she left Geno: 'I mean, I don't know what was different about a few nights ago, but he went to sleep... He passed out because he was drunk. And I packed a bag, it's a small bag, enough to know that I had clothes for a few days and I'll figure it out. I left.'
