According to TMZ, the spouse of the Teen Mom star has been charged by one count of misdemeanor child abuse and one count of felony assault by strangulation.
The news about Eason, whose conduct was defended by his wife earlier this year, was also confirmed by an official at the Columbus County Courthouse in North Carolina.
TMZ reported that Eason, 35, had been accused by Evans’ son Jace, 14, of physical abuse this past October.
The 32-year-old Teen Mom star’s son had run away from home on several occasions before then, and he had been returned to his parents each time.
However, sources claimed that Jace, whose father is his mother’s former partner Andrew Lewis, alleged that Eason had assaulted him following his most recent attempt to run away from home.
The insiders went on to claim that Evans’ son exhibited visible marks on his neck and arms, and the alleged assault was said to have taken place at an acquaintance’s residence.
Both the local police department and CPS were said to have obtained Ring camera footage of the incident.
Following the alleged assault, Evans and Eason both became the subject of a investigation for suspected child neglect.
It was reported that the latter of the two had officially been charged with a misdemeanor related to his involvement in the incident in October.
Officials have since determined that a separate charge for alleged strangulation is applicable to the media figure’s spouse.
Although Evans was also possibly set to be charged in connection with the case, she has not been given any charges as of yet.
According to TMZ, Jace was placed under the care of his maternal grandmother, Barbara, this past November.
However, the reality television personality’s son ran away from Barbara’s home when she took away his cell phone after he was caught while using a vape at school.
