BUSH BUST Alaskan Bush People star Rain Brown arrested and jailed on first degree burglary charges after meth abuse claims
ALASKAN Bush People star Rain Brown has been arrested on first degree burglary charges after she was accused in a restraining order request of abusing meth.
Rain, whose real name is Merry Christmas Raindrop Brown, was charged with burglary in the first degree, malicious mischief in the first degree and criminal trespassing in the second degree.
Josiah was arrested and charged with burglary in the first degree and malicious mischief in the first degree.
Rain and Josiah remained behind bars until their court date on April 14.
The hearing determined probable cause was found for the cases to move forward.
They are both now out of custody.
RESTRAINING ORDER
The arrest comes months after Rainâs brother Noah and sister-in-law Rhain filed a restraining order against her on August 5, 2024.
The restraining order request was denied.
In the court papers, Noah and Rhain requested âprotection from someone who has committed unlawful harassment.â
They accused Rain of âstalkingâ and checked off that there is a âthreat of violence including malicious and intentional threat or presence of firearm/weapon causing substantial emotional distress.â
They requested Rain give up all firearms, including her two handguns, one to two semi-automatic rifles and two shotguns, and be prohibited from obtaining more.
They are also requesting their two sons Elijah, 5, and Adam, 2, be protected from their aunt.

Noah and Rhain, who are now separated, requested Rain ânot cause any physical harm, bodily injury, assaultâ and make âno attempts to have any contact, including non-physical contact, directly, indirectly, or through third parties.â
They requested she not knowingly come within 1,000 feet of the protected persons, their residence, vehicle, school and more.
FRIGHTENING CLAIMS
In Noahâs Declaration in Support of Motion for Ex Parte Restraining Order, he accused Rain of âusing cocaine and meth and consuming alcohol.â
âOn or about December 6th, 2023, my mother went to visit Respondent and my mother was offered cocaine for her migraine/headache she was experiencing,â the court filing claimed.
On or about July 19, 2022, Noah explained of an incident that occurred during filming for the Discovery series, âWe were in the elevator and [Rain] said something along the lines of âmy life would be so much easier if you were dead, if only I wouldnât get caught, I think that my gun is in my room.ââ
Noah alleged of another incident, âOn or about May 3, 2023, I was helping the family move horses up to NorthStar ranch, one of the horses was malnourished, and because Raindrop and Snowbird wouldnât listen to me on how to properly transport the animals, one of the horses fell in the trailer and couldnât get back up on her own.
âWhen I was telling them what we needed to do to help the horse stand, [Rain] said, âJust stop!! We donât need your help. I would rather the horse die than listen to you! I will kill it myself!! Now go wait in your truck or I will get my gun right now!â
âI waited at my truck the rest of the time, I found out the next day that the horse died.â
In a second Declaration, Noah explained his family has been a âvictimâ of âunlawful harassmentâ since his Rhain was introduced to the family on August 15, 2016.
REQUEST DENIED
A temporary order was denied without a court hearing because of âno basis.â
The explanation by the court read, âThe petition lacks sufficient information and is unsupported by a properly [submitted] declaration.
âPetition is essentially blank with references to âsee declaration of Noah Brown.â
âFurther, allegations pertain to incidents that are too remote in time to warrant issuance of a TRO without notice to the respondent.
âThere must be sufficient information to support the petition for a TRO to issue or for a hearing to be set.â
According to online records, Noah and Rhain have not re-filed the request.
The U.S. Sun was unable to contact Rain regarding the restraining order request after making multiple requests for comment.
RAINâS SIDE
Days after the Petition for Order of Protection request was filed with the court, Rain wrote on Instagram, âHow come in a world so harsh it is praised more to be fake [than] it is to be real? Why do I have to pretend I donât know what the F word is? Or pretend that I am a âperfectâ woman?
âMany of you have watched me grow up from a very young child into the strong capable woman I am today, who quite frankly doesnât give a flying F#âŹ!< about what anyone thinks of me.
âIf that sentence offended you and you asked yourself âWhat happened to her?!â Keep asking that question, maybe one day Iâll write a book.
âBut as you go to type your mean comment about what I have to say remember this: What would you do if when you were yourself the world told you âyouâre not acting like yourself!â Who would you listen to? Yourself? Or the opinions of others? Have a blessed day everyone⌠God and Jesus bless and keep you in his everlasting light.â
Rain also revealed she married her boyfriend Josiah and that her siblings did not attend the wedding.
SHOW CANCELED
The U.S. Sun previously reported Alaskan Bush People has been canceled after 14 seasons.
The show aired on Discovery from 2014 to 2022.
Patriarch Billyâs business partner, Robert Maughon, filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the late starâs estate and business, Alaskan Wilderness Family Productions, in April 2021, just two months after he died in February 2021.
Billyâs wife, Amora âAmiâ Brown, is the executor of the estate and a defendant in the case.
Testimony from Ami, taken in April 2024, revealed the showâs current state.
The documents read, âTestimony acknowledging that the show âAlaskan Bush Peopleâ ultimately had 14 seasons, with the last season being filmed in 2022.â
Throughout the lawsuit, Alaskan Bush People is referred to in the past tense, as another example reads, âThese breaches occurred despite the significant profits generated by [Alaskan Wilderness Family Productions], particularly through the television series âAlaskan Bush Peopleâ which was featured on the Discovery Channel network.â
On the Discovery Channelâs media page, Alaskan Bush People is not listed as one of the companyâs âproperties,â as shows from Naked and Afraid to Gold Rush are included.
While the show is listed on the networkâs main page, the network hasnât posted an update on the series since September 2022.
