Rain Brown & Husband, Josiah Lorton Were Arrested

A rumor arrived that Alaskan Bush People star Rain Brown, 21, and her husband, Josiah Lorton were arrested in Washington. What started out as a rumor about the troubled daughter of Ami Brown has been confirmed. Read on for more details.

The Arrest & Charges

The initial news about a possible arrest arrived on Facebook, and then on April 14, it arrived on Reddit where it was shared by u/mountain-hermit. They shared a screenshot of an arrest record originally shared anonymously. And, it clearly showed Rain and her husband’s names.

She was named as “Brown, Merry Christmas Raindrop,” and Josiah as “Lorton, Josiah David Michael.” The photo revealed several alleged charges: malicious mischief in the first degree, burglary in the first degree, and criminal trespassing in the second degree. Allegedly, the Discovery star and her man were arrested on April 11. 

Fans Speculate In The Comments

Plenty of people wondered if the arrest story was true. And, as Rain seemed to acting a bit out of character recently, they thought it might be true. One person in the discussion wrote. “That’s not “oops my neighbor left their door open and I helped myself to a cup of sugar” kind of a story.”

More comments followed like, “I wana know what happened. I thought they lived in a secluded area… so I wonder where they went or where they broke in to,” and, “I hope this is a big wakeup call for her to deal with her issues, though.”

Here are a few more comments about Rain Brown who fights with her brother, Noah Brown over a protection order:

• Is that Rain and her husband? But she claimed they didn’t have drug problems, sure…
• I guess she didn’t change her last name when she got married. I’ll be honest, I thought I was going to see drug charges listed. Shocked there wasn’t any.
• We don’t know anything other than a tiny screenshot. Nobody’s posted links. I could make the same thing in excel. All I’m saying is, let’s get facts. Not random internet posts. I don’t think you’re wrong. I just would like more than a screenshot to go on.

Verifying The Arrest Was Real

Checking out the rumor, we discovered several sources that prove the arrest for the alleged crimes did happen. One of them came from the Okanogan County Sheriff’s office. And Monsters and Critics verified it by checking out the information. 

In their article about the Discovery star, the outlet wrote:

Monsters and Critics has independently confirmed that Washington court records show Brown is scheduled to appear in court on April 14. At the time of writing this report, Rain and her husband were listed on the Okanogan County Corrections Center inmate log.
