Where are Erin and Michael from Prison Brides season 1 now?

Since the show is filmed three months in advance, fans got curious about where the couple stood after they saw an angry Michael taking out his frustrations on Erin in season 1 of Prison Brides.

Michael is said to have been arrested again following new charges after his much-awaited parole, according to starcasm.net, which also stated explicit details about the cause of his arrest.

According to the publication, Michael has been in Lorain Correctional Facility since January 9, after he allegedly swung at and then drove a car towards an unnamed victim. The victim is believed to be Erin because whoever complained about Michael claimed to have been in a three-year romantic relationship with him and lived with him for several months before the incident occurred.

Michael denied the allegations put on him but failed to be present at the police station when he was asked to be on November 28, 2023, which led to his arrest and gave him new charges.

Michael was charged with domestic violence, menacing by stalking, and disorderly conduct after his victim said he swung at her, narrowly missing, but intended to harm her. He also faced a parole violation in addition to the new charges.

His new charges for sure mean that the couple is no longer living together, regardless of the victim's identity. If Erin was at the receiving end of Michael's wrath, the cause of their altercation remains unknown.
