In her personal life, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is notoriously unstable. Alana and her family have always been under the microscope, from the time she first gained fame on the TLC series Toddlers & Tiaras until the present, with the release of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Her love life has also attracted attention so early in life; on February 28 her 20-year-old lover Dralin Carswell was arrested. There appears to be a trend of dating males with criminal histories that led to temporary incarceration. Mama June Shannon, who is almost as well-known, had a run of unsavory suitors before marrying Justin Stroud twice (once privately, and once publicly, at a beachside ceremony in February 2023).

Dralin Carswell has been Arrested for Statutory R*pe Charges
Dralin Carswell was born in 2002 and hails from Georgia; according to his Facebook profile, he presently resides in McIntyre. Before enrolling at Lincoln Technical Institute, he graduated from Wilkinson County High School.
The 22-year-old has a history of run-ins with the law. At the age of 18, he was charged with statutory r*pe and arrested in May of 2019. It was stated at the time that he consentingly engaged in s*xual activity with a 15-year-old by climbing through a window.
According to the police report, one of the officers spoke to the female party and asked if the s*x was consensual, to which she said “yes.” It became out that Dralin’s then-girlfriend was a minor.
Dralin informed the police that he was at a friend’s house at the time of the incident, but his pals later admitted that they had dropped him off at the minor’s place and picked him up an hour later. They also said that he was afraid and urged them to leave immediately after being discovered by the child’s mother.
Dralin has over 3000 Instagram followers, however, his account only contains two photos, the most recent of which was posted in November of 2022. On Facebook, he routinely posts content from other people’s pages, including videos and images.
