The U.S. Sun has obtained exclusive footage of Ryan Edwards appearing in Hamilton County General Sessions Court.
Ryan was supposed to be in court for a check-in hearing on December 5th. Instead, Ryan was arrested for violating his probation.
The judge presiding over Ryan’s case is Judge Starnes. He told Ryan, “My patience is gone…”
The Judge Had Stern Comments for Ryan
In the video, Judge Starnes tells Ryan that “he was told he was going into custody” and added, “you’ve had chance after chance after chance.”
Ryan has allegedly not followed the terms of his probation. He also reportedly had to undergo a test to determine if he’s misused any substance, the results of which will be available this Friday.
Ryan was recently charged with being in possession of a controlled substance. He also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. His case was dismissed in a plea deal reached with the court on November 6th.
Judge Starnes was also presiding over Ryan’s court case that day. He said that he was “hesitant” to approve the plea deal.

Then, on November 25th, The U.S. Sun obtained another video exclusive of Ryan. The footage shows Ryan under the influence and getting removed from a bar in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
During the check-in hearing on December 5th, a source from The Sun overheard a conversation between Judge Starnes and Coty Wamp, the District Attorney for Hamilton County.
This alleged conversation between the DA and the judge happened just before Ryan was called up to the stand to testify on his behalf. DA Coty allegedly said to Judge Starnes, “I would be interested to see if he could pass a drug screening.”
The District Attorney told Judge Starnes that the last time Ryan was screened for substances was on November 8th.
This screening test allegedly took place at the same time that Ryan was released from Oasis, which is a halfway house in the Hamilton County area.

Then DA Coty, spoke to the court again and said that “it raises concern he could fail a drug screening.”
DA Coty alleged that Ryan is not currently an outpatient in any treatment facility. The district attorney also said that Ryan is not participating in any support group.
“Can we drug test him in court today, judge?” asked DA Coty. Judge Starnes agreed to the DA’s request. It took an hour to complete the test on Ryan with medical officials. He was then called to the stand. DA Coty proceeded to review other allegations against Ryan in court.
According to the district attorney, Ryan has been late in receiving a Vivitrol shot.
This injection is used to help people with substance issues, and Ryan was allegedly scheduled to receive his Vivitrol shot on November 17th. But, as the district attorney alleged in court, Ryan had not received the shot when it was scheduled.
“We know what happens when you go longer than a month,” said DA Coty.
The district attorney also added that Ryan’s behavior at the bar on November 25th “would correspond” with a person who had not taken their Vivitrol shot: “The state would ask that he be taken into custody if he does not pass.”

Judge Starnes disagreed and ruled that Ryan was going into custody right away. He said in court that Ryan was told to do something that could help him, and he failed to do it. Judge Starnes had Ryan arrested and taken away.
