BREAKING AMISH Jeremiah Raber releases his own police reports

It was revealed a couple weeks ago that Breaking Amish cast member Jeremiah Raber and ex-wife Naomi Stutzman had a volatile relationship that resulted in numerous claims of abuse by Stutzman. According to a report by Pennsylvania’s CBS 21, there are at least 17 separate police reports involving Raber, eight of which were for domestic violence. Now, apparently thanks to Jeremiah himself, we have some of the details from the reports that didn’t have to do with domestic violence.

A Facebook account that appears to belong to Jeremiah Raber (there is evidence linking him the the account well before being cast on Breaking Amish) submitted the police incident reports to the “Breaking Amish: The Exposé” Facebook page in an attempt to defend himself against the recent negative reports about him. In a comment, Jeremiah later explained: “i asked the admin to post them. im the one who sent them to him. they prove im nt guilty like ppl were sayin. everybody has the right to an opinion so i let them talk crap. ik whats tru”

Here are the reports:

Here is a comment left on the Breaking Amish The Truth Facebook page followed by Jeremiah’s response:

Cay ElNemr Per at least two news reports, Jeremiah was named in 17 different police reports, yet he states three of those reports were based on verbal altercations…does that mean he admits to the other 14 reports of physical violence ? @ Jenna, his ex wife.

Jeremiah Raber @cay elnemr. Do your homework. I had said im working on the rest of them. Supposedly 9 of the 17 reports were stalking. I was living out of state at that time an have paystubs to prove it. Im not out to be mr perfect. The way it sounds even if i posted all the proof in the world u an some other ppl would be to air headed to believe it since you already have ur mind set. I dont need fans like you.

On an interesting side note, Jeremiah’s Facebook account had been under the name “Lone Rider” for the last few months, but switched back to “Jeremiah Raber” this week (complete with a photo). It appears that he and the rest of the cast have not been able to speak as themselves while the show has been on, but apparently with only one more episode to go, that gag order may have been lifted. So it’s possible we will be hearing from all of the cast members soon about all of the information discrediting the premise of Breaking Amish that has been revealed since it premiered.

UPDATE – APRIL 2017 – Jeremiah Raber has been arrested for domestic violence after an incident with his wife Carmela Raber. According to the police report, not released by Jeremiah this time, he allegedly threw hot coffee on Carmela’s lap after a verbal altercation. When police arrived, Carmela showed them large bruises on her body and she claimed that Jeremiah abused her daily. Click the links for all the details.
