Teen Mom star Nathan Griffith is arrested on domestic violence charges in Florida

Teen Mom star Nathan Griffith, 34, was arrested and faces domestic violence charges. He is the ex-fiancé of Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans, 31.

Police in Delray Beach, Florida, were called to the scene Friday after receiving a call from the reality star’s brother-in-law, whom Nathan reportedly called and said he had “lost control” by choking his girlfriend and drag her down the stairs.

TMZ reported that the brother-in-law, William, then texted the woman to ask if she was okay, and she replied: ‘No.’

Documents reviewed by the outlet indicate that when officers arrived at the home, Nathan had several scratches on his neck and back, but he claimed they were the result of sexual intercourse.

The police report reportedly said the former male model was uncooperative.

It was also claimed that his brother-in-law was on drugs and therefore not a reliable source.

Investigators said the girlfriend was initially hesitant to talk to them, but eventually said she had “passed out” during the altercation, but was unable to explain the details of what happened.

When asked about Nathan’s scratches, the woman reportedly replied, “I’m 100 pounds and he’s 250, how the hell am I supposed to get off him?”

The officer said bruises began to appear on the victim’s neck, and Nathan was arrested for domestic battery by strangulation.

This isn’t the former Marine’s first run-in with the law.

He was arrested in North Carolina in 2019 for driving under the influence.

The personal trainer was later accused of harassing a woman in 2020 and a temporary restraining order was issued, according to Sun.

In 2016, WMBF reported that Nathan was accused of strangling another ex-girlfriend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

In 2015, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge after grabbing a woman in the bathroom and attempting to remove her engagement ring at a Teen Mom 2 filming location in South Carolina.

Teen Mom: Nathan joined the cast of Teen Mom in 2013, when he began dating 31-year-old Jenelle Evans. The two were briefly engaged, but ended their volatile relationship in 2015.

Parenting: Jenelle and Nathan share custody of their son, Kaiser, who is now eight years old.

Nathan began appearing on Teen Mom during the fifth season as Evans’ boyfriend.

The two were together from 2013 to 2015 and even got engaged for a while before ending their volatile relationship. They share a son, Kaiser, eight.

The two engaged in a lengthy custody battle for the elementary school student, which ultimately concluded in 2020.

Jenelle briefly lost custody of the boy and their daughter, Ensley, in 2019 after her husband, David Eason, shot and killed their French bulldog in a fit of rage while the children were at home.

Jenelle’s eldest son Jace, 13, whom she shares with her ex, Andrew Lewis, lives with his grandmother, Jenelle’s mother Barbara.

Nathan quietly married his wife May Oyola, 38, in Miami in May 2022. The status of their marriage is currently unknown.
