Teen Mom star David Eason is facing an arrest warrant in North Carolina following charges of misdemeanor child abuse. The warrant was issued after an alleged attack on his stepson Jace, 14, in late September. The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the development, as the reality TV personality's legal troubles continue.

According to court officials, the warrant for David Eason's arrest has been filed, although it has not been served yet. The charges of child abuse were first reported earlier this week after David allegedly assaulted Jace in front of a neighbor's home. This incident marks the third time in two months that Jace has run away from home.

Despite the legal situation, Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, David's wife, has chosen to stand by him. Representatives for the couple have not confirmed or denied the charges. However, Jenelle expressed her frustration with the investigation, claiming it to be one-sided. She took to Instagram Stories to share her thoughts, questioning the fairness of the police's approach in conducting interviews and gathering information.

The charges against David Eason come at a time of increased involvement from Child Protective Services (CPS) in the couple's home life. The U.S. Sun previously reported that Jace was placed in CPS custody in late September, despite Jenelle having regained custody earlier this year. The MTV star's other children, Kaiser and Ensley, have also been brought in for questioning by CPS, following a judge's order.

The situation has further strained the already complex and volatile dynamics in the Teen Mom star's life. As of now, David Eason's arrest warrant remains in effect, and the legal proceedings will continue to unfold.
