After rejecting the state prosecutor’s plea deal for 90-days of house arrest and two-years of probation, Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood was shocked to learn today that she would be forced to stand trial for domestic battery and child neglect charges.
The charges stem from a September episode of Teen Mom, where Portwood was shown kicking the crap out of ex-boyfriend/fiance Gary Shirley. Although the two have reportedly reconciled since the altercation, the judge was unwilling to drop any of the charges.
E! News reported that the 21-year-old was visibly shocked by the judges decision, “She was really upset,” a source claimed. “She was crying.”
Despite a heartfelt plea made by Shirley, who showed up to court dressed like a ghetto-fied caddy, Portwood is still under the no-contact order, which prevents her from seeing Shirley while their daughter Leah is present.
Another source close to the Teen Mom troublemaker added,

Amber’s been doing so well staying out of the spotlight and she’s just not in a good place.  She can’t see her daughter, she’s really upset.
