Burns and Nettles are involved in a heated custody battle and in March of 2018 Nettles sought not one but two protection from abuse orders against Blake in Lawrence County Circuit Court.

Nine months after the alleged incident, Nettles signed the warrant for Burns' arrest on April 2, 2018.

Burns was released on a $1,000 bond.

Lawrence County District Judge Angela Terry has sent Burns' arraignment for May 3 at 8:30 a.m.
