Teen Mom Star’s Husband Faces Arrest Over Child Abuse Charges, Investigation Ongoing
David Eason, the husband of Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, is facing the prospect of arrest over child abuse charges involving his stepson, Jace Evans. The investigation, which is still ongoing, began after the 14-year-old boy went missing for the third time in a month.
The North Carolina police launched an investigation following allegations that Eason injured the child during an altercation. Visible marks were reportedly found on Jace’s arm and neck after he ran away and was later located.
According to reports, a warrant for Eason’s arrest has been filed in North Carolina, although it is unclear whether he will have to turn himself in. A court clerk confirmed the existence of the warrant but stated that it had not yet been served.
The incident involving Jace has raised concerns about his safety, as he has been reported missing multiple times recently. The circumstances leading to the investigation included an incident where the teenager left school and was later discovered in the trees behind the school building.
During the investigation, Jace reportedly confided in his grandmother, Barbara Evans, about being physically assaulted by his stepfather. A police report filed about the incident mentioned that Jace had called his grandmother to inform her about the assault and that he had run away and was hiding.
It has been reported that there is a video of an assault involving Jace, which was obtained by the police department and child protective services. These agencies subsequently became involved in the investigation.
While Eason faces child abuse charges, Jenelle Evans, the 16 and Pregnant star, is still under investigation and may also face charges. However, she has taken to Instagram to criticize the authorities, alleging a biased investigation.
Jenelle claimed that the police department conducted a one-sided investigation and failed to conduct interviews or seek information from the parents. She expressed her lack of trust in anyone around her and criticized the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department for leaking information about the case to the media.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the child abuse charges against him, Eason has maintained his innocence. Jenelle has stood by her husband, stating that he is a good father to her son. She has vowed to fight back against the authorities and plans to take legal action against the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department.
As the investigation continues, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of Jace Evans. The authorities are working diligently to gather evidence and determine the truth surrounding the allegations against David Eason.
