90 Day Fiancé’sJay Smith was released from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
A rep for his estranged wife Ashley Martson confirmed the news toUs Weekly, saying, “During this very shocking time, we want to wish Jay and his family the best. My client is focused on her kids and what’s to come of her career. We thank the fans and the90 Day Fiancéaudience for being so considerate and understanding.”
The reality star was being held in ICE custody in Pennsylvania after he was arrested for violating a protection from abuse order, according to Upper Allen Police Department at the time of his initial arrest.
Smith was served with a protection from abuse order on July 1, the Cumberland Sheriff’s Officeconfirmed toRadar Online. On July 3, he was taken to York County Prison in Pennsylvania.
Martson alleged in aninterviewwith Celebuzz! that while she was on vacation, Smith broke into her home. After calling the police, they instructed her to file a PFA, according to the outlet. Under the order, Smith was not allowed to post on social media about Martson or the PFA, but he allegedly did just that the next day.
While in custody, Smith’s friend started a GoFundMe page in hopes of obtaining a lawyer to help him secure his release from the ICE detention center. Smith, a Jamaican native, was facing deportation with his arrest.
Martson told Celebuzz! at the time, “I filed for his green card and then I retracted it because he cheated on me again.”
