This Teen Mom star was arrested for a DUI! This star has not had their shortage of legal issues, but we thought that was a thing of their past. This news comes after we learned they were thinking about suing their ex for sole custody of their child.
The weird part? This star was arrested in the next state over from their hometown! Keep reading to find out everything that is happening with this arrest.
News broke this morning that Nathan Griffith was arrested for a DUI in North Carolina. The Teen Mom star has had his fair share of legal troubles in the past, and a DUI is never a great look.
Nathan has been struggling to get full custody of their son, Kaiser for a while now, and not. Back in 2017, his mother Doris Davidson took Jenelle to court to attempt to claim custody of her grandson. She filed an emergency request for full custody of Kaiser.
In court documents obtained by Radar Online, Doris leveled some major accusations. In the filing, Doris claims that she has a “warm, close, and loving relationship” with Kaiser, and that “the close relationship has been severely jeopardized with [his parent]’s constant threats, belittling, and name calling.”
As of lately, Nathan has discussed suing for custody again after his ex, Jenelle Evans, had issues with CPS over the summer.
When Jenelle regained custody of her children, Nathan decided he should try and sue her for full custody of their son. That didn’t go so well, and even Nathan’s sister was supportive of Jenelle keeping her children.
The Hollywood Life spoke with Nathan’s sister, Heather Griffith, to get her inside scoop on the story.
“I think a lot of things have been exaggerated and blown out of proportion,” she said. “I don’t see Jenelle as an unfit parent or someone that doesn’t love her kids.”
Heather discussed how Jenelle kept her head high throughout the entire custody battle.
“I watch her go though this process, and she’s tried to remain so positive but she was just so sad,” she told the outlet. “I don’t see her as this horrible, vindictive person that she’s constantly being played out to be. I think she is just constantly under attack and I don’t think that she’s unfit as a parent.”
Jenelle regained custody of her children on July 4, but Nathan claimed he hired a lawyer before the CPS ordeal began. That all may be going by the wayside though, since Nathan was just arrested for a DUI.
According to reports by Radar Online and TMZ, Nathan was arrested on the evening of Thursday, October 17 in Cary, North Carolina. He was arrested outside a grocery store for “driving while impaired.”
He posted a $10,000 bond, and has already been released. His court date is set for next month.
Nathan currently lives in South Carolina, so there is no explanation as to why he was arrested in North Carolina.
This isn’t the first arrest for Nathan. Back in 2016, he was he was arrested for domestic violence against his ex, Jessica Henry. He was arrested again in February 2018 for hitting fixtures while driving on a highway.
His girlfriend told Radar Online , “Nathan ran out to get an energy drink alone. He was arrested for pulling away from a gas pump with the pump still in his truck’s tank. It was an accident.”
A motion was filed to reopen the case on June 1, 2018. A clerk told Radar that prosecutors sought to work out a deal before it goes to trial. A pre-trial conference was not scheduled until January of this year.
