He starred on the reality television show “Teen Mom 2,” and became known for his tumultuous relationship with fellow cast member Jenelle Evans. The pair had a child together and became engaged soon after they became parents. The couple didn’t make it down the aisle and ended up canceling their engagement as a result of their irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ.
It remains unclear if Griffith remains in custody at this time, or if he has been released on bond.
