Alaskan Bush People: Why Fans Are Worried For Bear Amid Looming Trial
Bear Brown of the Alaskan Bush People will be back in court on April 26 to plead his innocence against domestic violence charges. The "king of extreme" has had accusations brought against him in the past by his now-wife, Raiven Adams, but the couple seemed to be doing well. In January, the two tied the knot and even planned to move to North Star Ranch.
On March 11, news broke that Bear had been arrested near his home in Washington on Assault Fourth DV charges. Bear, whose real name is Solomon Isaiah Freedom Brown, was accused of pushing his wife onto the bed in order to try and obtain her cellphone. In the state of Washington, the law defines fourth-degree assault as an attempted battery on another person (which would allegedly be Raiven in this case), which causes contact that a reasonable person would find offensive. Bear, who has maintained his innocence, is being tried in Okanogan criminal court.
A Washington court in Okanogan will be hosting Bear on Tuesday, April 26, as he faces his criminal charges. On Tuesday at 10:30 am, Bear will begin the jury trial that he asked for back on March 14 when he entered his "not guilty" plea to the judge. Followers are worried for the Discovery Channel star since he often finds himself in trouble with the law since Raiven has entered his life. One worried fan asked why he kept "fooling" around with Raiven, noting he was fighting a losing battle. Another fan told the star to "wake up" and get out while he still can.
According to InTouch, Raiven was granted a no-contact order after his arrest, which has now been rescinded. The no-contact order was good for one year, but on March 16, only two days after his court appearance, Raiven provided paperwork to the courts that asked the order be taken away. The paperwork showed that Raiven had named herself as the protected party. The outlet shared that on March 31, the court granted Raiven's request for the order to be dropped.
Both Raiven and Bear have been posting on social media more as they have been spending time together. The couple recently took a trip to Seattle with their son, River, and even spent Easter on North Star Ranch. There has been little news out of the Alaskan Bush People camp on the upcoming trial, but many dedicated followers are hoping the matter can be settled amicably, especially since Raiven seems to be supporting her husband. Bear will have to wait as the fate of his future will be in the hands of a jury to decide whether or not he committed a crime against the mother of his son.
