If you’re a Teen Mom fan hoping that David Eason might get locked up, there’s still a chance.
Jenelle Evans’ estranged husband had another court date on April 8. This one was related to the charges that he is facing for reportedly attacking Jace Evans in September of 2023.
The allegations against the 36-year-old are serious.
David is facing a felony charge of “Assault by Strangulation” and a misdemeanor charge for child abuse.
The case moved forward in the Columbus County criminal court this week.
A source told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, “David was not present today, and neither were Jenelle or Jace.”
“David was represented by his attorney, and the attorneys for the state were present,” they continued. “The attorneys met in a courthouse conference room today to discuss the future of the case.”
Another person familiar with the law elaborated that this could mean his defense team is in talks to avoid a trial in the case.
The source stated to the outlet, “Generally, this type of administrative hearing happening means that the attorneys for both sides are likely discussing plea deals or potential negotiations, depending on how strong of a case the [District Attorney] feels they may have against David.”
