The "7 Little Johnstons" Star Smiled in Her Mugshot

As Us Weekly reports, police found the 26-year-old Johnston in a parked car on the highway in Georgia. She was with her boyfriend, Jeffrey Messervy, and his cousin. 

"At the time of my arrival, [Jeffrey] was on the phone with a friend asking them to come pick the three of them up so that Anna would not have to drive any further," the police report stated.

Johnston allegedly was slurring her speech. The officer then asked her to perform a breathalyzer test. The 7 Little Johnstons star's blood alcohol content (BAC) was reportedly 0.139. Georgia law makes it illegal to drive with a BAC above 0.08.

The reality star was booked on DUI charges on Oct. 10, according to jail records. She smiled for her mugshot. She was released the next day on a $1,563 bond. 

Anna Johnston Is No Longer On the TLC Show

Johnston has not yet commented on her arrest. 

The daughter of Amber and Trent Johnston has since left the TLC reality show and is estranged from her parents. 

In a Dec. 2025 episode of the show, she said, "I'm at that point it's like, 'Yes, y'all attempted to talk to me and stuff like that, and it's we're not getting anywhere. There's nothing else to work out. I'm definitely ready just to move on."

Johnston also said she is focusing on work and "things that [she] can control." However, her parents are still holding out hope that they can reconcile with their daughter. 

In the same episode, Trent said, "Moving forward, Amber and I will say, and we will keep saying, we're not going to give up on Anna. When Anna alone wants to sit down with her mom and dad and start building this fence together, we'll do it."
