Galyna Saltkovska’s legal troubles are about to take center stage on McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.
In the preview for the season 2 finale of the Bravo series, which aired following the Aug. 25 episode, Saltkovska, CMO of McBee Farm & Cattle Co., is MIA during the wedding of Jesse McBee and Alli Ventresca.
“Did you see Galyna?” Steven McBee Jr. asks before attempting to call her and getting her voicemail.
The clip then cuts to bodycam footage of Saltkovska, 47, being detained as an officer says, “Here’s the deal, right now, you’re going to be under arrest.”
Kacie Adkison, Cole McBee’s girlfriend, confirms, “She’s going to jail” as footage of a jail cell is shown.

Legal documents obtained by PEOPLE indicate Saltkovska was arrested on Oct. 19, 2024, the same day Jesse and Ventresca tied the knot in Smithfield, Missouri.
According to the filing, Saltkovska was charged with “failure to exercise [the] highest degree of care,” resulting in an automobile accident.
The charge was later downgraded to a defective equipment misdemeanor, according to an amended filing from December 2024, which was also obtained by PEOPLE.
One week later, the reality star was arrested after allegedly trespassing and disturbing the peace on Oct. 27, 2024.
In a court filing, Saltkovska allegedly entered a house despite being “advised in the past not to come to this residence.”
Upon entering, she was allegedly “screaming” and using “derogatory names,” and “making threats of bodily harm and death.” When she was escorted from the home, “she fell on the garage floor and hit her head, causing a small laceration on her forehead” before reentering the home, according to the filing.

The filing indicates that Saltkovska had “been in a relationship” with a resident of the property “in the past” and worked for their “farm and cattle company.” After the relationship ended, she allegedly “expressed her dislike” for her ex’s current “romantic” partner.
While the names in the filing are redacted, the details fit the description of Saltkovska’s ex Steven McBee, the CEO of McBee Farm & Cattle Co., who had an affair with Saltkovska’s former friend, Masha. Their feud has been a source of discussion throughout season 2.
During the incident, Saltkovska allegedly “arrived unannounced” at the home around 4 a.m. following a Halloween party where the residents were in attendance. She “began beating on the back glass door of the residence, before she was able to gain entry through the garage door, and entered the kitchen of the residence,” the documents state.
She then allegedly approached their bedroom door. Saltkovska began using “derogatory names” and “threatening to kill” an individual in the home, whose name was redacted. She allegedly refused to leave and “fell and hit her head on the concrete garage floor” when they attempted to escort her off the property, the filing indicates.
The filing alleges that Saltkovska was intoxicated at the time of the incident, according to records obtained by PEOPLE.
She has since pleaded guilty to private peace disturbance charges. The trespassing charge has been dismissed.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Saltkovska said, “I came to Steve’s looking for some help with a Halloween party we were hosting at the ranch, and Masha took advantage of the situation and called the police to have me arrested. I did not make the best decisions that day. I look forward to learning from my mistakes and putting this unfortunate incident behind me.”
PEOPLE has also reached out to representatives for Steven Sr. for comment.

In August, Saltkovska opened up to PEOPLE about where she stands with Steven Sr., Masha as well as Steven’s ex-wife Kristi McBee, who divorced him as a result of his affair with Saltkovska.
“[I] definitely talk to Kristi a lot. Talk to Steven, talk to Steve every day,” Saltkovska said at the time. “We obviously have businesses, and I developed a friendship with Kristi, for which I’m super grateful. Definitely always been a fan of Steven, kind of growing on the friendship with Steven.”
However, she admitted that friendship with Masha is irretrievably broken.
“Definitely not that. That is not going to happen ever and in any near future,” she added. “I do not appreciate backstabbers or cowards.”

On the second season of the show, fans saw Saltkovska struggle to come to terms with Steven Sr.’s new relationship.
After she was caught drinking on the job on the July 21 episode, she said in a a confessional, that due to the hurt she’s feeling over Steven Sr., she drank “some wine, just to relax my feelings.”
“I came into this conversation pissed off,” said Steven Jr. “But as I’m looking at her and seeing the pain in her eyes, I understand that she is a human being she’s been going through a lot over the last few months. And I know how good of a person she is and how productive and how valuable she is to our companies.”

In the episode that aired Aug. 25, Masha arrived unannounced to the opening of a new car wash location, which is another McBee business venture under Saltkovska’s purview.
When Saltkovska saw Masha arrive, she said, “F— you,” as the team was about to conduct the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“Galyna’s about to go crazy,” Cole said to his brothers.
After Galyna saw Masha speaking to a potential investor on the car wash project, she approached Masha and said, “The little prostitute is here. Get the f— out of my business.”
Galyna proceeded to follow Masha around the car wash parking lot speaking in a mix of Russian and English saying, “Get the f— out.”
“Don’t take one step closer or I’m going to call the police,” replied Masha.
As Masha got her in her car to drive away, Galyna flipped her the finger and spit in her direction.
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys season 2 finale airs Monday, Sept. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
