Mama June sparks concern as she asks for prayers in post about ‘rough times’ after boyfriend Justin Stroud’s arrest
MAMA June Shannon is asking for prayers in the aftermath of her boyfriend Justin Stroud's arrest on drug charges.
The reality star asked her friends and followers on Facebook to keep her in her thoughts as she deals with the fallout.
"Man it’s been a rough two weeks," she shared on . "But pray today it will all be better in the world.
"I know god has us and that he will see us through anything, even though it may seem like things are rough at times.
"Just remember god always has us.”
The "rough" two weeks culminated in the shocking and sudden arrest of June's boyfriend on a warrant relating to past drug charges.
June, 42, and Justin, 34, were in Boca Raton, Florida on Thursday night, February 17, attending a party when police finally caught up with the fugitive, who had been evading authorities for months.
As The Sun first reported, the warrant was issued back in October after Justin violated his probation on drug and burglary charges.

Justin appeared to have enjoyed the upscale cocktail party at the Addison with the Mama June: Road to Redemption star, but after the pair departed the venue and went to a gas station across the road, police pulled up behind them.
TIME'S UP
In photos exclusively obtained by The Sun, Justin is seen being placed into handcuffs, as a distraught June looks on.
One eyewitness who was working nearby told The Sun: "Four cop cars came into the venue and started speaking with the valets.
"Next thing you know, police pull into the gas station and they all swarmed in and arrested him. We saw him get taken away."
STATE OF AFFAIRS
According to the booking report, Justin is being held in the county jail and is listed as an “Out of State Fugitive.”
Local police said they believe Justin will remain in the county jail pending an extradition hearing.
Alabama authorities will then determine how they will retrieve him from Florida.
Before Justin was arrested in Florida, June and her new man were traveling all over the United States, despite the warrant.
In photos previously revealed by The Sun, the loved-up couple enjoyed sunny Los Angeles, before moving on to Georgia.
Justin was also in Las Vegas in December, though it is unclear if June was with him for the Sin City trip.
A WANTED MAN
As The Sun exclusively reported last month, June’s boyfriend was hit with the arrest warrant after he admitted to doing party drugs while in rehab, and then failing to appear for his meetings with his Alabama probation officer in October.
Justin skipped out on his probation officer meetings in Alabama just days after he was seen showing off his new tattoo in Atlanta.
The warrant for Justin's arrest alleged he was kicked out of rehab in Alabama for suspected drug abuse in September.
He allegedly admitted to his probation officer that he used “water,” which is otherwise known as party drug GHB.
From the warrant report, the probation office appeared willing to work with him through the alleged slip-up and allowed him to be transferred from Autauga County CCP to Lauderdale County CCP, where he maintained employment and had a place to live.
He reported to Lauderdale probation as required in September, but failed to appear for his probation meetings on October 21, 22 and 25, with the warrant for his arrest being issued on October 26.
