‘Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Ashland Locke Jailed – Hits Rock Bottom & Lashes Out

Young and the Restless spoilers indicate Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) soon winds up in a jail cell, but why? Does he kidnap his son or is this about fraud? It looks like the Newmans won’t be happy until they’ve thoroughly destroyed the man.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Ashland Locke in a Jail Cell Soon

Y&R spoilers photos for the week ahead see Ashland Locke sitting in a county jail cell looking none too pleased. But how does he get there? There are several ways that he could be arrested.

First, he could assault Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). On Monday’s episode of the soap, Billy Boy records a Grinning Soul podcast spilling all the dirt on Ashland’s cancer fraud. And Ash’s henchman Stannis shows it to him.

Could it be that the New Yorker snaps and attacks Billy, then gets arrested on The Young and the Restless? Billy’s smart mouth might deserve a smack, but this doesn’t seem likely.

Or maybe he’s arrested for fraud. After all, Ashland Locke lied about having a fatal illness. That’s fraudulent behavior if other people made decisions relying on that diagnosis. So, fraud’s an option. But we think it’s about his kid.

Y&R Spoilers: Ash Busted for Violating Restraining Order?

Next week, Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) talks to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) about how to finish nailing Ashland to the wall. They want to make sure he’s got nothing left.

Now, he’s still got a tentative connection to the boy he raised as his son. That’s Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez), who’s really the son of Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). The Newmans want to sever that link too, even though it’s not their business.

With that done, there’s no reason for Ash to ever come back to Genoa City on Young and the Restless. So, they pressured Kyle into signing off on a restraining order. And now they can use it to further punish the Locke Ness Monster.

It looks like they’re setting a trap to put him in handcuffs and it’s just a few days before it happens. Unfortunately, it looks like his new pal Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is part of the set-up that lands him in jail.

Michael Makes Sure Ashland Arrested on The Young and the Restless

Early next week, Michael tells Diane about the plan to nab Ashland if he tries to see Harrison. He warns her not to protect the man or else he’ll risk her own standing with the Abbotts. And it’s true she told Ash that same thing earlier.

When he approached her while Harrison was playing on Young and the Restless, she said she couldn’t put her relationship with her grandson at risk. Under pressure from Mike, she crumbles and tell him she saw Ash and what was said.

That alone could be enough to arrest Ashland for violating the restraining order. Or Diane might help them set up Locke for the police to catch him red-handed. Either way, it looks like Ashland’s nabbed for trying to see his son.

With him in jail, he’s truly at rock bottom. The podcast exposed his worst deed to the public. And this arrest makes is clear he can’t be around the boy he raised. Then, Ashland Locke’s got nothing left to lose. Everyone should be afraid!
