Addison Rae's Dad Monty Lopez Arrested on Felony Marijuana Charge — What We Know So Far
Addison Rae’s father, Monty Lopez, 50, was arrested in Lafayette and booked Tuesday, April 28, on a felony count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, according to police records. His booking photo shows him in an orange shirt.
So, Addison Rae's dad, Monty Lopez, just got arrested again. This time, cops say it involves a lot of weed. The timeline is messy, the charges are serious, and there are some older cases worth flagging. Here is what actually happened, without the noise.
The new arrest
Online records from the Lafayette Police Department show Lopez, 50, was booked on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, for a felony count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana. TMZ was first to report it. In the booking photo, he is wearing an orange shirt and staring straight into the camera.
As of now, there is no public comment from Lopez.
What kicked this off last week
Days before the booking, officers were called to Lopez's home on Thursday, April 23, 2026. A Lafayette Police Department rep said they went out for a mental health complaint. According to reporting at the time, that call turned into a criminal investigation, which may have set the stage for the arrest five days later. The sequence is odd, but that is how authorities describe it.
The paper trail, simplified
Lopez has had prior run-ins with the law, and the dates can be confusing, so here is the clean version:
- Aug 31, 2024: Alleged obscenity incident at a Walgreens in Lafayette, Louisiana.
- Feb 2025: Police records obtained by outlets showed Lopez had been arrested for obscenity tied to that 2024 Walgreens incident.
- July 2025: Arrested by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office and accused of exposing his genitals or pubic hair in public (or a place open to public view), allegedly with sexual intent or in a patently offensive way. He was charged with felony obscenity and a sex crime; bond was set at $2,500. He pleaded not guilty.
- Thu, Apr 23, 2026: Police respond to a mental health call at his home; the visit becomes a criminal investigation.
- Tue, Apr 28, 2026: Booked on a felony charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, per Lafayette PD records.
Family context
Lopez shares three kids with his ex-wife, Sheri Easterling: Addison Rae, Enzo, and Lucas. He also has a daughter, Macye Neumeyer, from a previous relationship. He and Easterling married in 2004, later divorced, reconciled and remarried in 2014, and split for good in 2022.
Addison, who has been releasing music lately, has previously talked about the rough patches with her dad. This line from a 2020 conversation with her mom still says a lot:
'From about 3 to 6 for me ... Dad wasn't really in my life very much. I'm sure that was personal decisions on your part with Dad,' she said in July 2020 on 'That Was Fun?' with her mom. 'You guys, I'm sure, kind of established that, like, Hey, we're gonna need some space. We need to have our time to figure things out.'
Where he is now personally
Lopez moved on and married Kaitlyn Nicole Robins in Las Vegas in October 2025. On Instagram, he called her 'something rare, beautiful and one of a kind' and said he would 'never stop falling' for her.
That is where things stand: one new felony drug case, an earlier set of obscenity charges he has pleaded not guilty to, and a family history that has been public for a while. As always, these are allegations until a court says otherwise.
