Former Teen Mom star Nathan Griffith has been sentenced on strangulation charges. In 2023, the 36-year-old ex of Jenelle Evans had the cops called on him by his sister, who claimed he tried to kill her by grabbing her throat, pushing her down to the ground, and getting on top of her. Now, he has received a new sentencing for the charge after having broken his Veterans Treatment Court program. This week, the news emerged that Jenelle Evans’ ex has been sentenced after having his probation revoked due to failing out of the court-ordered program.

He was sentenced to probation ... again.
The dad seems to have gotten off lightly, as he was sentenced to probation again. He went before a judge to be resentenced for a charge of attempted assault by strangulation. Nathan was sentenced to a minimum of 12 months (with a max of 48 months) in prison before having his sentence suspended. The judge ordered him to go back on probation for “an indeterminate period not to exceed 24 months.”
He was thrown out of the Veterans Treatment Court program.
Nathan was kicked out of the Veterans Treatment Court program he was in earlier this month, which he was sentenced to last year after pleading guilty to attacking his sister. According to court documents, he was removed because of not having “adhered to the programming rules and policies.”

Nathan also was ordered to go to rehab ... again.
The former MTV star was also court-ordered to enter a residential treatment facility. He will be kept in Clark County Jail until he's transferred to the rehab facility.
Nathan is not the only reality star behind bars at the jail. Teen Mom 2 star Bar Smith is also in Clark County Jail.
Here's what happens if Nathan doesn't follow through with rehab or probation.
If Nathan is kicked out of his rehab program and/or doesn’t abide by the new terms of his probation, he is looking at 12 to 48 months of prison time. But even if he's successful with both programs, the felony charge still will be on his record.
The judge gave Nathan special conditions.
Nathan was given three "special conditions" by the judge. In addition to abiding by a curfew, he has to complete rehab and then enter a veterans intensive outpatient treatment program and comply with that program's terms.
He also has to abide by the terms of his probation.
Those rules include reporting to his parole officers, submitting a monthly written report, not changing his place of residence without permission, not possessing any weapons, and not leaving Nevada without permission. He is also barred from drinking alcohol “to excess" and not allowed to use, purchase, or possess illegal drugs or any prescription drugs that aren't prescribed to him.
Nathan will have to undergo drug testing and allow himself and his property to be searched. He also is barred from associating with anyone who's been convicted of a felony, on probation, or parole and must get written permission to correspond with anyone currently in jail or prison. In addition, he's required to follow all laws, pay his fines, and seek employment.
