Nathan Griffith was lambasted at his latest court hearing and warned that he’s out of “second chances” when it comes to his legal situation.
The former Teen Mom 2 dad— who is the father of Jenelle Evans‘ middle son Kaiser— has been on probation in Las Vegas’ Veterans Court since September, when he pleaded guilty to “assault by strangulation” for attacking his sister. As The Ashley previously reported, Nathan was arrested last month for not following the terms of his probation, which include a restriction from drinking alcohol or using any type of drug.
The former soulmate of Jenelle was ordered back into an alcohol treatment program last month, but according to the minutes of his latest court hearing, Nathan is not taking the program seriously. On Tuesday, the judge in the case chewed Nate out, warning him that this was his last chance to follow the rules.
The Ashley can exclusively reveal that the judge in Nathan’s case “admonished” him (via his court representative) and demanded Nathan “make treatment a priority.”
Nathan– who was not actually present in the courtroom at the May 7 hearing— was also told that this is his “last chance to comply.”
Nate is due to report back to the court on May 21 for his next status check, where his participation and progress in the Veterans’ Court program will be discussed and reviewed. (The Veteran’s Treatment Court provides treatment to veteran defendants, and helps them treat addiction, gain life skills and education to ease them back into society.)
As The Ashley previously reported, when Nathan pleaded guilty to the crime of strangling his sister in September, 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.
Nathan’s estranged wife May Oyoloa was arrested in January for allegedly committing domestic battery against him. Nate admitted to the cops that he was under the influence at the time of May’s alleged attack, which is a direct violation of his Veterans Court probation terms for the 2023 attack on his sister, as Nate is forbidden from using or possessing alcohol or drugs.
Since then, Nathan has been sent to treatment at a Veteran’s Hospital in Las Vegas twice. At the time of his first attempt at rehab back in February, his mother Doris Davidson told The Sun that Nathan was “taking this seriously.”
“I’m happy that he’s doing the best that he can,” she said at the time.
In March, Nathan was given the OK to move into a group home for homeless veterans, but it’s unknown if he ever actually moved into the facility before being arrested for violating his probation terms in April.
If Nathan does not comply with the terms of his probation, he will be likely be put back behind bars for an undetermined amount of time.
Um…no…it’s because you’re a guy who can’t follow the rules…
