16 and Pregnant alum Whitney Purvis was arrested and taken into police custody on Monday on charges including involuntary manslaughter, TMZ reports.

The source reports that the involuntary manslaughter accusation is linked to Purvis allegedly providing a mixture of Fentanyl and Xylazine, known as Tranq, to John Mark Harris, who is said to have died from an overdose as a result.

According to FOX 5 Atlanta, law enforcement documents reveal that the overdose incident occurred in February at a residence in Rome, Georgia, where officers discovered Harris deceased. Harris’s obituary notes his death on February 17.

Purvis, known from the first season of the MTV reality show in 2009, was taken into custody in Floyd County, Georgia. Additionally, TMZ reports that he faces two more charges, including the intent to distribute controlled substances.

Just over a month ago, Purvis announced on Facebook that her son, Weston Gosa Jr., passed away at 16 years old.

“This is so hard to write,” she penned. “My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just dont understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling.”

She continued, “I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can’t go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon.”

According to Us Weekly, a cause of death has yet to be announced. Shortly after her son died, Purvis told People that he “had a lot of medical problems, more than what a kid should go through.”

“He was born with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency when he was a baby, but then when he got older, he was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, and then that’s what brought out the diabetes,” she explained.
