Furlong had a long battle with drugs and alcohol, at one point ending up in the hospital with a suspected drug overdose. In 2001, he was arrested for two separate incidents involving driving without a license and DUI. After being in and out of rehab, he stated that "The first year of quitting (drugs) is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, physically and mentally."
In 2004, Furlong was arrested for public intoxication following a bizarre incident at a Meijer grocery store in Florence, Kentucky (in the Cincinnati area), where he was filming the independent film Jimmy and Judy. According to the police report, he and some friends were getting rowdy and yanking lobsters out of the store's tank. When police arrived, an unsteady Furlong, who "smelled of booze," began to "turn around in circles" when an officer tried to frisk him. Furlong spent a few hours in custody before making bail on the misdemeanor count.
Furlong married Rachael Bella on April 19, 2006...On July 8, 2009, Rachael Bella filed for divorce after three years of marriage citing irreconcilable differences.
Rachael Bella filed for and received a restraining order from a court, against Furlong. On 10 January 2011, Furlong was jailed for "violating his probation stemming from the restraining order". That evening he was still in jail needing to post a $75,000 bond for release.
