Nathan Griffith has been sitting behind bars in Nevada for nearly a month, but the Teen Mom 2 dad has even bigger problems to deal with.

“If I can survive being engaged to Jenelle, I can survive prison!”

The Ashley can exclusively reveal that the baby daddy of Jenelle Evans has been booted from the Veteran’s Court program he was sentenced to last year after he pleaded guilty to attacking his sister via attempted assault by strangulation. According to court documents obtained by The Ashley, Nathan was kicked out of the program due to him not having “adhered to the programming rules and policies.”

At the time Nathan was booted from Veteran’s Court on July 2, he was in jail and had been for a few weeks. (Nathan’s arrest was due to his “non-compliance with the Veterans Treatment Court Program.”)

As The Ashley previously reported, when Nathan pleaded guilty in September 2023 to assaulting his sister, he agreed to abide by a list of terms and conditions. Those terms included participating in and comply with the Veteran’s Court program; complying with all the terms of his sober living placement; not using or possessing drugs or alcohol; complying with a set curfew, following counseling requirements; agreeing to only have one cell phone and allowing it to be searched/providing its passwords; not using anyone else’s phone or allowing anyone to use his phone.

The State had allowed Nate’s case to be moved from District Court to Veteran’s Court because Nathan served in the U.S. Marines Corp. According to its website, the Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) program “is designed to confront and treat the substance abuse and mental health issues which contribute to the criminal behavior of Veterans Court participants.” (Veterans referred to this court usually have substance abuse, military trauma or mental health issues, and are at substantial risk to reoffend without intervention.)

The Ashley can also confirm that, now that Nathan has been kicked out of Veteran’s Court, he will no longer be out on probation, and will have a formal conviction for “Attempted Battery by Strangulation” on his permanent record. (Had he complied with the terms of his Veterans Court probation, Nathan’s case would have been dismissed after 36 months.)

Over the past year or so, Nathan has been to rehab several times. In April, he was arrested for not following the terms of his probation. That same month, the former soulmate of Jenelle was ordered back into an alcohol treatment program, but according to the minutes of his next court hearing, Nathan was not taking the program seriously. In May, the judge in the case chewed Nate out, warning him that this was his last chance to follow the rules.

Now that he has been booted from Veteran’s Court, Nathan will be sentenced in District Court for his original crime, which can be classified as either a felony or gross misdemeanor. (The court will determine what it will be classified as.)

A hearing was held on July 11, where it was ordered that Nathan remain behind bars in county jail until July 25, which is when his probation revocation hearing has been set for.

Nathan now faces a minimum prison term of two years (with a max of 15 years), as well as fines, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes.

As the Ashley previously reported, Nathan has not been active in his son Kaiser’s life in more than a year-and-a-half. In January, Nathan stated on TikTok that he will not attempt to fight for custody of Kaiser again.

“I’m not in a position to go to court,” Nathan said. “I just want what’s best for my son. That’s all I want.”

Jenelle (and Kaiser) are currently staying in Las Vegas, but are not there due to Nathan.

The Ashley will update this story when more information is available.
