Joshua Lahti, the estranged husband of the young mother of two, has been arrested 15 times for a series of violent crimes and drug offenses, according to a report from RadarOnline.com.
Joshua Lahti’s long list of legal offenses include a 2002 arrest for second degree kidnapping, domestic battery and assault with a child present, false imprisonment, battery and a drug paraphernalia charge. He was also arrested on a DUI charge last year, and for another domestic violence case in 2000.
