It’s tough to lose a custody battle with Jenelle Evans, but if there’s any truth to the latest reports about Nathan Griffith, Evans’ second baby daddy may be the first to do just that.
According to Radar Online, a warrant has been issued for Griffith’s arrest after his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Henry, accused of him of choking her during an argument.
Sources say Griffith has been instructed to turn himself in to authorities, but has yet to do so.
Those familiar with the situation say that Nathan and Jessica have been on-again, off-again for quite some time, and the incident took place while they were at a bar together discussing a possible reconciliation.
Henry reportedly made a 911 call at 4:15 on Monday morning.
“Upon arrival the victim stated she had a history with the offender who is her ex-boyfriend,” reads a police report obtained by Radar.
“The victim stated that tonight they were at a bar together and got into a verbal dispute.”
The report contains testimony from Henry’s roommate who claims that she saw Griffith “pinning the victim down on the bed.”
She adds that after they were able to convince Griffith to leave their home, he “went outside and started yelling then left just before police arrived.”
In one of the report’s most shocking excerpts, Jessica describes being overpowered by an enraged Griffith.
“She said while she was being choked, she started gagging and was in extreme pain,” the report reads.
“[The offender] choked her until the point where she could not breath.”
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Nathan has been accused of attacking Jessica.
Griffith was arrested for choking her back in August, but was released without charges being filed.
Even if he manages to avoid jail time yet again, Griffith will likely suffer some major legal consequences this time around.
Throughout their ongoing custody case, Jenelle has repeatedly argued that Griffith is emotionally unstable and should therefore have no physical custody rights to their son, Kaiser.
“Defendant communicated to plaintiff that defendant’s mental health is not stable and that he is unable to care for the minor child,” reads a document filed by Jenelle’s attorneys last week.
Nathan’s latest legal woes will certainly be cited as evidence of those claims.
