According to Daily Mail, Doak’s criminal history dates back to 1996 when he was busted for a entering a building with “intent to commit a theft” in February 1996.

He was arrested a few days later and charged with felony burglary, court records indicate. Doak pleaded guilty to the burglary charge and was sentenced to three years in prison, but only served three months behind bars for the conviction.

He was arrested again for felony theft in March 2009 after he stole a $500 cargo trailer belonging to The Griffin First United Methodist Church in Griffin, Georgia, Daily Mail reports. The following year, he pleaded guilty to felony theft and was sentenced to 10 years of probation, 80 hours of community service and fined $2,500, and then in 2013 his probation was revoked once again after he was charged and pleaded guilty to felony criminal damage to property in the second degree, to which he received a four-year prison sentence.

Doak claimed he wasn’t suicidal and only took two extra tablets in addition to the four Valium pills a day he was prescribed for back pain, according to court records.

He denied that he was trying to take his own life, but admitted that his wife at the time, “yells as me when I drink one or two beers, and I smoked a few cocaine, and then now and then I use marijuana,” which raised some alarm with hospital staff.

4. Despite The Domestic Charge Against Doak, The Two Were Acting Very “Loving” in Jail

Although Doak was also charged with a domestic harassment charge, the two were apparently acting very “loving” after they were arrested, Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson said in a news conference posted by WFSA12 News.

“But I really didn’t see that because they were acting so loving when they were here,” Brunson said, referring to the jail. “But out there they did have a domestic.”

Although Mama June was released on bond that same night, Doak was held for 24 hours due to the domestic charge. According to Brunson, Mama June came back to “take care of” Doak following her release.

“[Shannon] came and took care of [Doak] after she got out,” Brunson said. “Miss Shannon was very nice and funny of course. We didn’t have any problem with either one,” he said.


5. Mama June Is Hoping To Be Engaged or Married By The End of This Season, But Doak Doesn’t Seem to be Ready

Doak and Mama June have been together for three years now, and during last week’s episode, Mama June was live-tweeting about the episode and gave a special shoutout to Doak, hinting that she hopes for a ring in the near future.

“Yes the most outrageous moment is me getting genp [sic] to possibly marry me so we’re going to see what happens this season so let’s get to watching now,” she wrote, referring to the moment during the episode where Doak got down on one knee — and gave her a promise ring.

“I’m not gonna ask you to marry me, but I don’t want to lose you,” he told her during the episode. Placing the ring on her middle finger, he explained, “we’re smack dab in the middle of us.”

Mama June seemed a little taken off guard by the gesture (and probably disappointed), but wrote on Twitter that she was very moved that he gave her the ring, writing “I have to say so very sweet what geno said yeah it is not an engagement but hey if you do a promise then hey I can get another ring out of it LOL,” she added.
