LAS VEGAS — Nathan Griffith, known for his appearance on the reality series Teen Mom, could face up to four years in prison after being arrested on April 23 for allegedly strangling his ex-girlfriend in Las Vegas. Griffith, 37, remains in custody and is expected to appear in court on May 6 to address a potential probation violation.
Griffith, the father of Jenelle Evans’ son Kaiser, was already under court-ordered probation following a 2023 conviction for strangling his sister, Heather. That incident, categorized as a domestic violence offense, led to his enrollment in the Nevada Veteran’s Court program. As part of his sentencing, Griffith was ordered to abstain from excessive alcohol use, refrain from drug use, avoid firearms, remain within state boundaries unless permitted, and not commit any new offenses.
Court records show that Griffith completed a stint in a rehabilitation facility in February 2024, a requirement of his probation. During his initial sentencing, a court official stated Griffith faced a prison sentence of 12 to 48 months if he failed to comply with the program’s conditions. His latest arrest could now trigger that punishment.
According to Chatham Police, Griffith was taken into custody following a domestic disturbance involving his 21-year-old ex-girlfriend, Anastasia Biddle. A protective no-contact order was issued by the court following his April 24 hearing, prohibiting Griffith from contacting Biddle. She later confirmed publicly that she was the alleged victim and posted — then deleted — audio in which Griffith appeared to urge her not to attend his next court appearance, suggesting the charges might be dropped if she did not cooperate.
Sources cited by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported Griffith has been uncooperative since his booking, delaying official interviews. He has remained in custody since his arrest.
This latest development comes after Griffith’s previously reported plans to relocate to Tennessee in order to be closer to his son, Kaiser, who had been living with Griffith’s mother, Doris. Those relocation plans were never realized.
Despite ongoing legal turmoil, Griffith’s relationship with Jenelle Evans has remained relatively cordial. Evans told followers that Griffith contacted her following the altercation, and she offered temporary help for the sake of their son, although she emphasized that their relationship remains strictly parental.
“I said, ‘Listen, you can come over here, you can spend the night and stay in Kaiser’s room because he has a queen size bed,’” Evans said in a recent social media post. “But in a few days, you’ve got to figure out what you’re doing. But I will give you the option of trying to help you and I’m only doing that, of course, because it’s Kaiser’s father.”
Griffith’s legal status remains uncertain pending the court’s ruling on whether his latest arrest constitutes a formal violation of his probation. If found in violation, he would face a mandatory minimum sentence of 12 months in prison, with a maximum possible term of 48 months.
