Last September, an arrest warrant was reportedly issued for Brandon for his June arrest for cocaine possession and DUI after failing to turn up to his arraignment.
This news came a month after it was revealed Brandon would not be investigated for supplying Demi with the pills that allegedly caused her near-fatal overdose, despite admitting he supplied her with the 'after market pills'.

TMZ reported at the time that Brandon will not be investigated due to an overdose being categorised as a medical emergency, and a self-induced one.
No stranger to the law, Brandon was reportedly arrested in June for possession of cocaine, as well as driving under the influence of alcohol.
And after failing to turn up to his arraignment the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

As well as his June arrest, Brandon was also arrested back in March, after he was discovered with narcotic substances, $10,000 worth of cash and even a loaded handgun on his person.
It was revealed in late July that Demi suffered her near-fatal overdose after smoking Oxycodone possibly laced with fentanyl.
The Skyscraper hitmaker had contacted Brandon via text message in the early hours of July 24 to join her at her Hollywood Hills house, after she attended a party at popular Sunset Strip bar Saddle Ranch.
It was reported that the pair smoked painkiller Oxycodone 'on tin foil' at her home and, unbeknownst to the star, the batch was likely laced with particularly potent fentanyl as the dealer had a 'bad habit of buying [tainted] drugs from Mexico'.
The dealer, who Demi is said to have been using the services of since April, allegedly fled the star's house after noticing that she was breathing heavily in bed — leaving her staff to discover her at 11:30am.

Demi was said to have been revived with Narcan before being rushed to hospital, where she remained for two weeks as she recovered.
Meanwhile, Brandon claimed Demi knew what she was ingesting and the risks she was taking on the night she overdosed.
Brandon alleged that the embattled star text him at 4am to ask he come over, which he took as a request to bring narcotics leading to his claims that they then smoked - also known as 'freebasing - drugs together.
He is said to have got pills from Mexico, which were reportedly laced with fentanyl which is described as 'is an opioid used as a pain medication and together with other medications for anesthesia'. He claims to have left at 7-8am.

Among the astoundingly bold allegations, he insinuated the two of them did drugs together many times before and even had a 'sexual relationship'.
Following up with a raid of his Hollywood home, the police later found an even larger stash of drugs and weapons - although it is not known if he was ever charged.
Hot on the heels of her hospitalisation and subsequent release, Demi cancelled her tour and entered a rehabilitation centre in Chicago in a bid to seek further treatment.
She appears to be doing well and on the mend, after working extremely hard on her sobriety.
