‘90 Day Fiancé’: Ben Rathbun in Jail After Drunk Driving Probation Violation
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 5 cast member, Benjamin ‘Ben’ Rathbun is currently in jail. Ben was arrested after violating his probation from a drunk driving incident in 2020.
Ben’s drunk driving arrest in 2020
According to TMZ, back in 2020, 52-year-old Ben was arrested for operating while under the influence of alcohol (OUI) and driving with a suspended license. In January 2021, he was sentenced to 18 months of probation.
On Feb 7, 2022, Ben had a scheduled probation hearing, but he didn’t show up. The judge issued a bench warrant since Ben was a no-show. What was Ben doing? Fans recall that Ben was spotted visiting his 22-year-old girlfriend, Mahogany, on Feb 23. Could this be the reason why he missed his probation hearing?

According to online records obtained by TMZ, Ben was arrested due to the bench warrant from his original OUI case on the morning of Mar 15. There’s no information about what Ben was doing ahead of his arrest.
Ben is currently in jail for breaking probation, and his bond is set at $10,000. So far, there haven’t been any updates on whether he posted bail or not.
Ben and Mahogany’s ’90 Day Fiancé’ journey
After falling in love via an international dating website, Ben flew to Peru to meet the love of his life, Mahogany. Upon arriving at the airport, Ben was stood up by Mahogany. While there was speculation that Mahogany wasn’t real, she proved she was real when she finally showed up to meet Benjamin.
Now that they’re finally together, many red flags appear. Ben suspects that Mahogany isn’t being truthful after finding out she’s two years younger than he expected. Meanwhile, Mahogany is suspicious of Ben’s intentions. On the Mar 13 episode of Before the 90 Days, Ben stands Mahogany up at breakfast, leaving their relationship in jeopardy.
