The Season 10 finale of Teen Mom OG showed what happened just days before the incident that lead to Portwood’s arrest on July 5.
Portwood was arrested in Indianapolis after 6 AM on July 5, and according to dispatch audio, Glennon believed his child’s life was in danger.
TMZ obtained documents that revealed Glennon is seeking custody of their child, on the recommendation of the Department of Child Services.’
Glennon believed that Portwood is, ‘currently unable to provide a safe, stable, and secure environment for James on an ongoing basis due to her frequent refusal and/or failure to take medicines prescribed to treat her mental-health conditions, among other concerns.’

The documents also claimed that Portwood got in a heated argument with Glennon, and grabbed a machete and struck the door which Glennon was on the other side of.
While the machete didn’t strike Glennon, Portwood reportedly struck him with a shoe while he was holding their son.
After her arrest on three felony counts, including domestic battery and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, a judge granted Glennon a restraining order against Portwood, and she can’t go near him or their son until the case is resolved.
