Teen Mom stars are no strangers to controversies, frequently finding themselves entangled in legal dramas. One such notorious figure is Nathan Griffith, Jenelle Evans’ ex and baby daddy. Nathan was sentenced to take part in the Veteran’s Court program after being arrested for the alleged strangulation of his sister. His requirement was to comply for a mere 36 months.
However, reports indicate that Nathan violated several rules at the Veteran’s Treatment Centre, angering the judge. He also got a warning that there would be no second chances. Now, recent reports suggest that Nathan could be facing up to 15 years in prison. So, what led to this harsh penalty? We’ve got all the tea.
Teen Mom: Nathan Griffith Got Kicked Out Of Veteran’s Court!
Nathan Griffith faced arrest for attempting to strangle his sister and pleaded guilty to the charge in September 2023. To avoid conviction, the Teen Mom star only needed to comply with the Veteran Court program’s rules for 36 months However, he was recently kicked out for not adhering to the programming rules and policies.
On July 2, the program booted Nathan for “non-compliance with the Veterans Treatment Court Program.” Apparently, Nathan broke the rules regarding the prohibition of the use of drugs and alcohol. This non-compliance now means Nathan faces a permanent conviction for “Attempted Battery by Strangulation.” With his dismissal from the Veteran’s Court, he will return to District Court for sentencing, where the court will decide whether to classify it as a felony or gross misdemeanor.
On July 11, a judge ordered Nathan to remain in county jail until July 25. According to Nevada Revised Statutes, he could now face a prison sentence ranging from a minimum of two years and a maximum of 15 years, along with fines. Nathan’s case was originally moved to Veteran’s Court from District Court due to his service in the U.S. Marines Corp. However, his failure to comply with the program’s rules has landed him in serious legal trouble.
Teen Mom: Judge Was Furious Over Nathan’s Lack Of Seriousness!
Teen Mom star Nathan needed to follow a few rules at the Veteran’s Treatment Center, including abstaining from drugs and alcohol. He violated these rules and was taken into custody without bail. Despite having a second chance at the treatment center, Nathan failed to comply. During a recent court hearing, the judge expressed his frustration to Nathan’s lawyer over his lack of seriousness.
According to The Ashley, the judge told Nathan’s lawyer that the MTV star was out of “second chances” and needed to make the treatment a priority.
