In April 2019, Keenan was placed on community control after pleading guilty to possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. In July 2019, she was sentenced to two one-year prison sentences, and an additional one-year sentence on a different case. In October 2019, she was granted judicial release.
On September 11, she tested positive for meth and methamphetamine and possessed dangerous drugs.
