Days after the incident, Alana, 17, appeared in a video with her older sister – and legal guardian – Lauryn “Pumpkin” Effird discussing the incident.
Both were clearly upset, shouting and cursing throughout the conversation.
The We TV star, known to some as Honey Boo Boo, claimed in the video: “These cops was so f**king crooked.”
Referencing one particular officer she said: “He talking about ‘I’m sorry, I’m no longer a fan.’ Baby, I don’t care. I don’t care. At the end of the f**king day I will still have the most watched TV show on We TV, so I don’t give a f**k.”
Of her boyfriend, she said: “All this fuss that folks be doing on TikTok and s**t and y’all still support the f**k out of them. They do way worse s**t than what Dralin did.”
Pumpkin appeared to agree with the sentiment, saying: “I’m trying to tell y’all. Y’all out here supporting people who beat women. … And y’all worried about Dralin runnin’ from the God d**m police.”
Alana then jumped back in, saying: “Y’all can keep running y’all’s little trap trap trap trap. Baby, at the end of the day I’m still gonna make my money.”
She added: “Y’all mad because y’all broke and bum a**ses sitting on y’all’s couches right now worried about what the f**k Honey Boo Boo got going on when you need to be worried about hot to make some money.
“You need to be worried about how to take care of them bad a**, raggedy a** kids you got out the f**king front door.”
Alana added: “Half of you motherf**kers probably got six different baby daddies – three of them you don’t even really know that you f**ked when you was on meth amphetamines because you just needed some d**k.”
UNDER ARREST
Dralin was arrested on February 28 and was found to be in possession of marijuana and an illegal gun.
The discovery was made after he led cops on a three-mile chase, The U.S. Sun exclusively learned.
Alana was in the car when this occurred.
During the chase, Dralin reportedly “ran one care off the roadway” as he gained speed according to the responding officer.
At one point, the car flew at 75 miles per hour down roads with a speed limit of 55, which is considered a felony, according to the report.
Police were finally able to stop the car by colliding with it, causing Dralin to lose control.
The officer claimed in the report: “I exited my vehicle with my service pistol drawn and pointed my firearm at the driver’s door.
“The windows on the vehicle were very dark. I instructed the driver to roll down the window.
“I noticed that a male driver and a female passenger were in the front seat, and a male passenger in the back seat on the driver’s side.”
After police ran Dralin’s license, they found that he was wanted in another county for a probation violation.
Police then searched the vehicle, discovering a bag of marijuana and an unregistered firearm.

The U.S. Sun exclusively obtained Dralin’s mugshot, which showed him looking serious.
He was arrested for DUI, fleeing police, driving with a suspended license, following too closely, failing to maintain lanes, and speeding.
Julian Malik Divon Williams, who was also in the car, was arrested on outstanding warrants.
Alana was not arrested and was taken to the Monroe County Jail where Pumpkin had to pick her up.
Dralin’s bond was set at $25,000 and it appears he has since been released.
TOUGH PAST
Dralin’s most recent arrest is not his first brush with the law.
The U.S. Sun previously exclusively reported that Alana’s boyfriend was arrested back on May 29, 2019, and was initially charged with statutory rape.
Alana was not the alleged victim in this case, and it appeared the incident happened before he and the Mama June Road to Redemption star started dating.
According to the police report, the mother of the alleged victim brought her daughter into the police department and claimed that Dralin, who was 18 at the time, climbed through her daughter’s window and had sex with the minor, who was 15.
In the report, the officer wrote that they interviewed the minor.
“I asked the daughter if it was consensual, and she stated ‘Yes.'”
The minor told the officer that they had “consensual unprotected sex in her bedroom.”
Dralin allegedly told the police the minor was his girlfriend, and they had talked about him coming to her house but denied ever actually going to the house.
He told police he was at his friend’s home all day and night – but the friends told the investigators they dropped him off at the minor’s home and picked him back up over an hour later.
The friends allegedly told the police that when they picked Dralin up he “was scared and told them to drive fast” because the minor’s mother “had caught him inside the house.”
Reps for Alana and Dralin did not respond to The Sun’s request for comment at the time.
Dralin was initially charged with statutory rape but ultimately completed a pretrial diversion program that resulted in the dismissal of a claim for making a false statement to law enforcement.
During the pretrial diversion hearing in June 2021, the 21-year-old agreed to fulfill the terms of the program in exchange for a dismissal.
The assistant district attorney said during the hearing that Dralin “was charged with statutory rape, misdemeanor grade,” however “Based on the evidence we didn’t feel like we could prove the statutory rape but could prove making a false statement.”
The ADA also noted: “This is the first time Mr. Carswell has been in trouble. He is here today before the court representing himself. So the recommendation was a pretrial diversion in that situation.
“I’ve spoken to the mother of the 15-year-old and she’s in agreement with the recommendation which is Mr. Carswell successfully complete this pretrial status and then his case will be dismissed.
Dralin and Alana started dating back in 2021 when she was just 16.
