Jenelle Evans’ husband Courtland Rogers charged with a felony hours before marrying
Teen Mom Jenelle Evans (Rogers?) is no stranger to eventful and dramatic days, but today just about has to take the cake! Shortly before Jenelle Evans wed her fiance Courtland Rogers in a courthouse wedding earlier today, Courtland was in court for something different — to be charged with a felony!
“Courtland Rogers was charged with a felony in North Carolina on Tuesday for obtaining property by false pretenses,” a source tells Radar Online. “Straight after that court hearing was finished Jenelle and Courtland got married at the magistrate’s office.” I suppose the couple should be commended for making efficient use of their time — talk about killing two birds with one stone!
According to the source, Jenelle’s new husband was looking a bit worse for wear and was exhibiting some odd behavior. “Courtland was picking scabs on his face while he was in the court and his face was starting to bleed.”
Another source close to Jenelle claimed that she has everyone worried that she may have started using drugs again. “Everyone is worried about Jenelle,” the source said. “And her appearance and actions on Tuesday did nothing to quell the concerns.”
A third source close to Jenelle expressed concern that she may have gotten married for the wrong reasons. “Jenelle might be stupid enough to think that if she is married to Courtland then she won’t have to testify against him in his upcoming trial, but since the incident happened before they got married that isn’t the case,” the source said.
Interestingly enough, Jenelle had previously claimed that there was a good reason for her getting engaged to and marrying Courtland so quickly. Could this be what she was referring to?
Courtland is due back in court on January 3, 2013.
UPDATE – Courtland has responded to the charges in a looooooong blog entry posted on Jenelle Evans’ web site moments ago. In the post, included in its entirety below, Courtland writes, “check my records i have not been in any trouble for the past 7 years until recently i have had somebody take false charges out on me but thats ok because i am innocent so i will be okay.”
