The tense interaction comes just days after Brian was detained by police following in a reported assault at a bar. His brother Zach Hickerson, who was also present when Hayden died last month, was arrested following the incident.

Brian was ultimately released without charges while Zach was charged with disorderly conduct.

Hayden passed away at the age of 36 on August 16, and authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her passing.

Now, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is reportedly focusing on a series of messages between Hayden and an alleged longtime drug dealer. Get the latest here.
