Allison Holker had previously been arrested on allegations of public intoxication and disorderly conduct, years before she said she discovered evidence of drug use by her late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
In a recent interview with People, Holker, 36, said she learned about Boss’ alleged drug use shortly before his funeral.
The dancer said she found what she described as a “cornucopia” of drugs in his shoeboxes, including mushrooms, pills and “other substances” that she had to research on her phone.
Years earlier, Holker had been arrested following an incident at Salt Lake City International Airport on September 14, 2018, at around 11:30 p.m.
According to a police report exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, Delta Air Lines employees contacted police after finding Holker “unconscious” on a plane and attempting to wake her.
After she left the aircraft, staff told Holker that paramedics should evaluate her. The report said she became “angry with Delta for them thinking she was unconscious” and viewed the suggestion as a “personal attack against her.”

The police report said Holker displayed “belligerent behavior” and appeared “very intoxicated” after arriving at Salt Lake City International Airport

When officers arrived, they found the former Dancing with the Stars professional—who left the program in 2016—“very intoxicated” and allegedly “yelling at Delta employees.”
Police said they quickly detected a strong smell of alcohol and observed that Holker had “blood-shot and glossy eyes.”
The report said the confrontation intensified as Holker raised her voice, shouted vulgarities and attracted the attention of passengers and airport personnel in the concourse.
At one stage, Holker called Boss, who died by suicide on December 13, 2022, and complained that she was being treated unfairly while surrounded by six firefighters and police officers.
According to the report, Holker would not allow officers to touch “her f**king phone.” She placed Boss on speakerphone but allegedly interrupted as police and medical workers tried to speak with him.
Holker also declined to answer questions from paramedics who were attempting to determine whether she was experiencing a medical emergency or posed a danger to herself.
She reportedly refused to answer basic questions, including “What day is it?” and “Do you know where you are?” The fire captain then intervened and “forcibly” took the phone from her hands, according to the report.
The police report stated: “Allison Boss’ tumultuous behavior escalated to the level where police had to take action and remove her from this public place.”

A Salt Lake City police officer placed handcuffs on Holker’s wrists after she allegedly resisted arrest.
Officers searched her and reported that she appeared to have difficulty standing upright. At one point, she reportedly almost lost her balance and fell backward.
The investigation continued after Holker was taken from the airport to the police station.
Once there, officers made several further attempts to explain the situation, but said Holker was not responding rationally and could not answer questions appropriately.
She eventually provided her mother’s phone number. After officers contacted her mother, the Utah native was released and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct at around 4 a.m. on September 15, 2018.

However, police said Holker nearly went to jail because of her continued “belligerent behavior and unwillingness to cooperate.”
“As I was preparing to transport her to jail, I made one last attempt to explain to her what needed to be accomplished in order to release her. She decided to listen and cooperate with her release procedures,” police wrote.
The report concluded: “Allison turned a routine and simple evaluation by medical staff into a volatile and tumultuous incident that caused much public alarm.”
Holker’s disorderly conduct and public intoxication case was dismissed in October 2021

Holker’s arraignment was scheduled for September 28, but she did not appear in court. A warrant for her arrest was issued on October 2.
After the case remained inactive for three years, officials in Salt Lake County filed a “Notice of Order to Show Cause on Cases with Aging Pre-Adjudication Warrants.”
The warrant was later recalled, and the case was dismissed on October 20, 2021.
DailyMail.com has contacted Holker’s representative for comment.
Holker married Boss in December 2013 at a winery in Paso Robles, California.
The couple had two children together, Maddox, 8, and Zaia, 5.
Holker’s daughter, Weslie, 16, was adopted by Boss after the couple married. Weslie recently defended her mother amid criticism of the book.
Holker is the author of the forthcoming memoir This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light. The book has drawn criticism after it included private journal entries written by Boss, including a passage in which he appeared to suggest that he had been sexually abused by a male figure during childhood.

A source told DailyMail.com that Boss’ family was “fired up” and “won’t be sitting back much longer.” The source also said relatives were “furious” that they had not received an advance copy of the memoir, which is scheduled for release on February 4.
Responding to the criticism, Holker said her “only intention” in writing the 240-page memoir was to help readers recognize “some [of] the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.”
“My hope is that we don’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide,” she wrote in an Instagram Story last week.
“I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life. Much love to all those who have supported our family these many years.”
Holker, who is now dating Adam Edmunds, said she planned to donate all proceeds from the book to Move with Kindness, a mental-health-focused foundation she established in Boss’ honor.
Shortly afterward, Boss’ mother, Connie Boss Alexander, issued a statement on Instagram addressing what she called “misleading and hurtful claims” about her son.
She said the family was “absolutely appalled” and that the “untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency.”
Details have also emerged about a nondisclosure agreement that family members were reportedly “forced” to sign at Boss’ funeral. The agreement allegedly prevents relatives from profiting from his life story.
