Hossler's move comes less than a week after he was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana alongside his friend Bryce Hall.
But a source tells PEOPLE that Hossler's decision to go on hiatus from the Sway House was not related to the arrest.
Hossler and Richards' "move was in the works for a while," the source says. "It was just the best move for their career development."
According to the jail administrator for the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Texas, Hossler was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, less than 2 ounces, as well as possession of a controlled substance, less than 400 grams, which is a felony. He posted his $6,500 bail on Tuesday.
Reps for Hossler are not commenting, and plea information is unavailable.
