Kieran Hayler has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect and suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. Katie Price's ex-husband has been taken into custody, Sussex Police confirmed.
A spokesperson for the force told our sister paper, The Mirror: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and child neglect. He has been taken into custody for questioning. We will not be commenting further."
Katie has remained silent on social media since Kieran was arrested on Good Friday [April 7]. Meanwhile, a source close to Kieran told the Mirror that he was assisting officers with their enquiries.
It's believed that officers from the force rushed to Kieran's home at around 4pm. Kieran and Katie share two children together and he also has a son with his partner Michelle Penticost.
Ex-stripper Kieran was married to Katie between 2013 and 2021 when their messy divorce was finalised.
A neighbour of Kieran and Michelle's told The Sun: "It was very dramatic, a police van and car suddenly turned up on the driveway of their home." They added: "We later heard it involved a gun which was quite frightening."
However, it is not clear whether Kieran's children or Michelle were at home at the time of his arrest.
