'RHOC' alum Lauri Peterson's son was released from jail just 2 days before fatal overdose, reports say
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After the tragic death of Lauri Peterson's son, Josh Waring, new information has brought to light the difficult circumstances surrounding his final days.
According to court records obtained by RadarOnline.com, Waring had been released from jail on March 29 after being incarcerated for over a month.
Lauri Peterson's son's tragic death comes shortly after jail release
Waring, known as an original member of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County', tragically died at the age of 35 on Easter Sunday. His troubled history with law enforcement, including a previous conviction for a shooting incident in Costa Mesa, CA, had marked his life with legal struggles.
The recent incident leading to Waring's incarceration occurred just months before his death. He had been sent to jail on February 21 for violating the terms of his release in a separate crime. Despite being slated for a 90-day sentence, Waring was released just two days before his untimely death from an apparent overdose.
Records indicate Waring was supposed to contact probation officials by April 1, but tragically, he had already died the day before. Authorities had sought a warrant for his arrest last week after he failed to comply with probation requirements.
Waring's legal troubles continued up until his final days. On February 14, he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a security guard at a medical center. This incident, along with a post-release supervision violation, resulted in his 90-day jail sentence later in February.
