Maybe we can just combine Teen Mom and Cops into one show and call it a day?

Another one of the show's stars, Gary Shirley, has been arrested in Indiana for driving with a suspended license. And, according to the police report, Amber Portwood's hefty baby daddy needed two sets of handcuffs to link his wrists behind his 300-pound body.

So is Shirley still sitting in the slammer?

Shirley was released from the Madison County jail after posting a $3,000 bond after police arrested him on Tuesday morning.

The big-boned baby daddy was driving with Portwood in a Dodge when he stopped on a street and was overheard arguing with her by a cop.

"I observed a SIlver Dodge stopped on the south side of Berry Street, I could hear a female arguing with a male inside the vehicle," reads the police report, obtained by Radar. "I asked the male sitting in the driver seat if everything was ok and he advised yes. The female advised that everything was fine. I advised them that I had heard them arguing and wanted to make sure. I asked the both for identification...The male introduced himself and the female as Gary Shirley and Amber Portwood from Teen Mom.'"

Shirley, who had his license suspended last November, was arrested on a Class A misdemeanor for driving with a suspended license. According to the report, he had to be placed in the extra cuffs due to his size.

"Both sets of handcuffs were checked for tightness and double locked," the report reads.

After Shirley was hauled away, another cop stayed with Portwood and the car while she made arrangements to be picked up.
