According to multiple local news outlets, Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans’ fiance Nathan Griffith was arrested this afternoon and charged with criminal domestic violence after and incident at their home in South Carolina.
Horry County Police Lt. Raul Denis tells WBTW, “There was some kind of physical assault — although it may have been minor.” Denis reveals that the arrest took place at approximately 4:15 PM, and that police were also at the residence approximately 12 hours earlier for another incident that did not result in an arrest at around 4:45 AM.
WBTW reports that MTV film crews have been at Jenelle and Nathan’s home filming the upcoming sixth season of Teen Mom 2, including today. It is unknown if cameras were rolling when Nathan was arrested, or when police arrived early this morning.
So far we have been unable to obtain a new mug shot photo of Nathan, but will be sure to update as soon as we do. We are also reaching out to try to find out more information about what happened.
Meanwhile, Jenelle has remained quiet on social media with her only tweets over the last eight hours being from around noon:

Nathan’s arrest comes at a time when the couple have reportedly been having some issues, and less than two weeks after Jenelle was detained briefly stemming from an issue with an unpaid ticket and a suspended driver’s license on February 24.
