Ash Trevino, a controversial content creator, was arrested on felony charges in Texas on Wednesday, Dec. 17. She was booked into Ellis County Jail, where she was later released on bond.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old internet personality \u2014\u00a0whose full name is Ashley Lopez-Trevino \u2014 has over 500,000 followers across her Instagram and Snapchat accounts and has frequently drawn controversy online, including for discussing in explicit detail her preference to date inmates.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A patrol officer for the Venus Police Department, who was aware that Lopez-Trevino had \u201cactive felony warrants out of the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office,\u201d made contact with the creator in her front yard at 7:50 p.m. on Dec. 17, police chief James Groom wrote to PEOPLE in a statement.<\/p>\n

After she was taken into custody \u201cwithout incident,\u201d Lopez-Trevino was transported to Ellis County Jail for booking on her warrants, Groom continued.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Ellis County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed to PEOPLE that jail records show Lopez-Trevino bonded out of jail, and that the bond was $15,000. The office declined to share further information since she had already been released from custody. PEOPLE has not been able to confirm the nature of the arrest warrants or whether formal charges have been brought.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0Lopez-Trevino shared to her Snapchat story on Thursday, Dec. 18, she appeared to be laughing as she exited the jail, while a person behind the camera said, \u201cShe\u2019s free. She\u2019s out.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a livestream after her release \u2014\u00a0screen recordings<\/a>\u00a0of which circulated online \u2014\u00a0Lopez-Trevino told her followers that she had an attorney and had plans to travel to a casino later that day.<\/p>\n
