David Eason, Husband of 'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans, Charged with Child Abuse Involving Stepson

Eason faces misdemeanor charge following multiple instances of Evans' son Jace running away from home, sparking criticism from Evans about police conduct and bias.

David Eason, the husband of 'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans, has been charged with misdemeanor child abuse in a case involving her 14-year-old son, Jace.
The charges follow multiple instances of Jace running away from home since Jenelle regained custody from her mother, Barbara Evans, in March.
Jenelle Evans has spoken out against the charges, criticizing the police for their conduct and suggesting bias in the investigation. She claimed that the police did not conduct any interviews or ask for any information from the parents.
Jace's grandmother, Barbara Evans, had alleged in a police report that Jace ran away due to abuse by Eason. However, Jenelle has repeatedly denied any abuse allegations.
Jenelle had previously stated that the reason for Jace's running away was their decision to take away his phone due to misbehavior at school.
Child Protective Services reportedly obtained video evidence that purports to display an altercation between Jace and Eason.
