Social media personality Ash Trevino found herself in legal trouble this week after being taken into custody by police in Texas. The arrest, which occurred on Wednesday evening, was executed based on active felony warrants issued in her name.
Arrest Details and Police Confirmation
The Venus Police Department confirmed the arrest of Ashley Lopez-Trevino, known online as Ash Trevino, on the night of Wednesday. Officers located the influencer at her residence around 7:50 p.m. and took her into custody from her front yard. Chief James Groom of the Venus Police told media outlets that the arrest was made without any incident or trouble.
The active warrants that led to the arrest were issued by the Waxahachie Police Department. Trevino was subsequently booked into the Ellis County Jail. However, her stay was brief, as she secured her release on bond later the same night. Authorities reported no injuries or threats to public safety during the process.
Social Media Reaction and Trevino's Response
The news spread rapidly online, fueled by Trevino's substantial social media following, which exceeds 500,000 followers across platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. Shortly after her release, the influencer addressed the situation directly with her audience.
Going live on social media, Trevino appeared to downplay the seriousness of the event. In a video, she was seen laughing and assured her followers she would contest the charges. "I'm going to fight this. I have a lawyer," she stated. She also mentioned she was heading to a casino and expressed a lack of worry about the ongoing legal situation.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Neither the police nor Trevino have publicly disclosed the specific nature of the felony charges linked to the warrants. Law enforcement officials only confirmed that the warrants were valid and active at the time of the arrest. With her release on bond, the case now enters the next phase within the legal system.
In her online communications post-arrest, Trevino has focused on maintaining a positive front, telling her fans she is handling the matter with her legal team. The case remains active, and further developments are expected as it progresses through the courts.
