UPDATED WITH TMZ INTERVIEW. Jenelle Evans can’t keep her story straight.
Why the hell does Jenelle Evans keep giving interviews about this? Pick a lie at LEAST!
Jenelle Evans now claims that David didn’t really kill her dog, Nugget. The best way to even begin to cover this is by just using my purple pen on this rather lengthy official statement by local police and animal control.
On May 1, 2019, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office and Columbus County Animal Control initiated a joint investigation into allegations of animal cruelty that reportedly occurred at a residence on Money Hole Road in Riegelwood. Jenelle Eason contacted Columbus County Sheriff’s Office by public service.
So, Jenelle Evans immediately report the situation to the police.
Eason advised that on April 29th, at approximately 6:30 pm, her dog bit her daughter, leaving a scratch on her face. Eason advised that her husband, David Eason, threw the dog outside. She then advised that after David realized that the dog scratched their child, he went outside and shot the dog. During this conversation, Jenelle stated that she did hear a gunshot but did not witness the incident.
What happened to the body?
On May 1, 2019, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office visited David Eason at his residence on Money Hole Road. The responding deputy was following up on a previous welfare check request on a child at that residence. While at the residence, the deputy also communicated with Eason in reference to the animal cruelty allegations. The deputy witnessed a juvenile at the residence that appeared to be in good health.
Then Nathan sent the police to check on Kaiser. He seemed fine.

A Columbus County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigator attempted to make contact with Jenelle by visiting her at her residence. The investigator was unable to make contact with her in person. A message was left on her voicemail. David reached out to the investigator and advised that he and Jenelle were meeting with their attorney at the end of the week. The investigator attempted to contact Jenelle on the day they reportedly met with their attorney. However, again, she did not answer the phone.
If you didn’t kill the dog, why does Jenelle Evans need and attorney?
During the evening hours of May 13th, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at the Eason residence located on Money Hole Road. The Eason’s did not have prior notice of the search. The Columbus County Department of Social Services accompanied the Sheriff’s Office to serve four custody orders. At the initiation of the search, no one was home. Contact was made with David and he advised he would arrive shortly. Upon arrival, David willfully signed a consent to search form.
I am shocked that David Eason signed a consent to search. He’s usually more threatening. Of course the dog has been dead for two weeks. During this time Jenelle Evans and David did a lot of “gardening.”
Columbus County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search of the residence and property. No weapons were located inside of the residence or on the property.
WAIT WHAT? What did he do with his arsenal of weapons?
Investigators processed the residence and the property, locating no blood evidence or any other physical evidence to validate that an animal had been fatally injured on the property. Jenelle was not present during the search.
Where did he stash Jenelle?
On May 14th, Jenelle and David were at the Columbus County Department of Social Services in reference to their children. Columbus County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigators met with Jenelle in reference to the allegations she reported. David was not present during this meeting. Jenelle was questioned concerning the incident she reported to Columbus County Sheriff’s Office. Jenelle’s accounts were inconsistent with her original account of the events that occurred on April 29th.
Jenelle Evans Changes Her Story
Jenelle advised that she was inside with her children at the time of the alleged event. She advised that she never heard or saw anything to indicate that David shot her dog. Jenelle advised that she did not want the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office or the District Attorney’s Office to continue with the investigation. Jenelle advised that this was her decision that she made on her own free will. She advised that she was not coerced into making this decision.
Jenelle Evans Takes The Blame, Claims It Was A Publicity Stunt
Jenelle advised that “she don’t know where the dog is”. She also advised that “I don’t know if she was shot or killed or not”. Jenelle stated that the reason she filed the animal cruelty report was for the publicity and because she did not know where her dog was. Columbus County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigators located no physical evidence to substantiate that the allegations against David Eason are factual. The evidence collected indicates that the allegations of animal cruelty were fabricated.Therefore, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office is closing this investigation. No charges will be filed in this case.
Columbus County Sheriff’s Office has dedicated many hours investigating the reported allegations. Columbus County Sheriff’s Office, along with Columbus Central, the District Attorney’s Office, Columbus County Department of Social Services and Columbus County Animal Control were inundated with phone calls and emails concerning this investigation due to social media posts advising the public to contact the above agencies.

Wait, So They Believe Jenelle Evans?
The quantity of calls and emails that the Sheriff’s Office and the above agencies received were so abundant that individuals had to be removed from their normal duties to answer thousands of redundant calls. This slowed the progress of the investigation, and delayed normal daily operations.
Social media can be a great tool when utilized for positive interactions. In this case, social media posts were utilized to incite follower’s emotions to gain publicity. Sheriff Greene and Columbus County Sheriff’s Office were quoted in numerous social media posts. However, the “quoted” statements were never made by Sheriff Greene or Columbus County Sheriff’s Office. We must remember that reality television and tabloid journalism are for entertainment purposes only.
Is it me or are they blaming social media and concerned citizens rather than Jenelle and David?
Is This Social Media’s Fault Too?
In a separate incident, on May 15, 2019, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the Eason residence. The Eason’s received an envelope in the mail, hand addressed from the Brunswick County Clerk. When David Eason began opening the envelope, a white powder substance fell out of the envelope. The substance was tested and did not test positive for narcotics or other harmful substances. This investigation has been closed. All leads in this case have been exhausted.
In the mean time, Jenelle’s Instagram is full of photos of happy kids at the beach, and in the pool, and at the lake. And The Land has gotten dozens of chickens and ducks and other animals. She also posted a story where Nathan’s sister allegedly said that Jenelle is a good mother.
But on Twitter she has been mocking Amber Portwood for her arrest and losing custody of her son. It’s a crazy world we live in.
She has no moral compass, lacks depth & makes no sense. Those children are in for one long wild ride. Unbearably sad.
What the actual heck??? So are they going to charge her with filing a false report or anything???
My thoughts exactly! Taxpayers paid for response to her call. She just gets to say ” oh no, not really” and that’s it?? Calling BS…
I don’t believe for a second that David didn’t beat and shoot Nugget.
However, she needs to be held responsible for filing a fake police report. She needs to be held financially responsible for all of those man hours.
She posted a long post about Nugget, she sent text messages to her friend Jamie describing the Nugget incident, she did an interview about contemplating divorce, David posted about why he did it.
Given that she is a walking contradiction, her own words need to be used against her. Hopefully CPS will win the appeal. After all, the CPS report was based on the children being terrified of the screaming and fighting between David and Jenelle. It also stated the house was filthy. While it definitely led to an investigation itself, I don’t think killing Nugget was the sole reason they were removed in May. Despite the police department not moving forward with animal cruelty charges, they may still win an appeal.
I would love for her to try and claim that Maryssa doesn’t tell the truth after all of this BS. Nathan needs to bring this up in his custody case. He needs to have his lawyer question her under oath about all of this.
She already did. She responded to a comment on her Instagram saying “Maryssa got caught in lies” and she also said something about Maryssa’s mother being on suboxone while pregnant. The girl that had a heroin addiction and whose youngest child was born with drugs in her system is judging someone else. Pot, meet kettle.
So what about David’s tweet saying it was his life’s mission to protect his family and a dog is just a dog? What was he talking about?
Fake news. Keep up with the program. This is Jenelle and David’s world and we’re just mere mortals occupying the same air that they breathe.
Their words are the law now. They can twist it to whatever benefits them at the time.
I guess it’s ok to rewrite history. What was I thinking?
It really is infuriating what these two get away with. Publicity stunt! Unbelievable.
They don’t believe her but are limited in what they can do
Jenelle and David have moved all the weapons elsewhere – If they are legal weapons law enforcement should (?) be able to ask for them to be sure they do in fact have them. If in theory stolen they should be reported as such – in case they are used in the commission of a crime.
I am assuming there is a fair amount of land and the dog, it’s remains and any other evidence could literally be anywhere.
There isn’t much hope for these kids and I hope they make it to adulthood but that said by then we may have the next gen of Jenelle and David – very sad situation all around
Why does this girl get away with everything is beyond me. She has no business talking about Amber. I wish she would just shut it. I can’t stand the way the law and the legal system works, it helps people like her and David to not be punished for their actions. She is just as psychotic as David. Very aggravating. She’s just so smug about everything. When her children were taken away she was happy as can be. Now I know why, she knew she would get her children back.
Wonder what happened to their pitbull Jax that David bragged about shooting with a pellet gun?? I guess it doesn’t even matter anymore. They got their kids back and life goes on until a 2 am 911 call because of an altercation of some kind that Jenelle will recant later. Ssme story different day with these two. Depressing.
why don’t they question the kids?
Janelle whole situation is sad and shouts abuse. Could this possibly some form of Stockholm syndrome that she is suffering from?
I am so shocked about the Amber situation but you could tell from watching episodes of TMOG that she was possibly hitting Andrew. It’s the looks she gives him when he gives a difference of opinion or does something she doesn’t like. So sad for Leah.
This is very sad proof of the kind of world we live in and how it’s affected our judicial system. I’ve always said I would prefer some guilty people get away then one innocent person be locked up, and to have a society like that the burden of proof has to be high and firmly on the prosecution. But I don’t believe they are walking away scott free because of the burden of proof, but rather a fear of David and an unwillingness to even try to charge him with a crime.
I understand, though, that the police need some form of evidence to press charges, and they didn’t have any. They didn’t because it took too long to search that house, and Jenelle and David were able to rid the home of any trace of David’s weapons and the dog. The police were too scared to go on the property immediately because of David’s social media posts; therefore, they lost their chance.
That statement did one thing: minimize the crime and blame the public for making them investigate the crime. It’s one fumble after another with them, and eventually it will lead to something so awful that those who let Jenelle and David slip away every time will lose their jobs.
That statement was gaslighting at its finest.
That statement was setting the public up to blame themselves when someone gets hurt. “If we hadn’t been so busy answering the phone, we could have found some evidence and charged them with the dog murder.”
That statement was blame shifting from the police to those who reported the incident.
That statement was bullshit.
Exactly. Well said.
This is total BS! I say we all stop talking about these 2 idiots and giving them the publicity that they desire.
So why is she NOT being charged with filing a FALSE POLICE REPORT?
He testified in court under oath he shot the dog. He perjured himself in a court of law which is punishable.
It would be great if that were true. But we don’t know that he did. And we don’t know if he told the police that he didn’t shoot the dog.
It really is astonishing that people right here, right now are calling bullshit on the police statement – almost immediately followed by a random internet fan statement like this. If people can’t see what is wrong with inundating the police and social services with a bunch of claims about people (albeit attention whores) that appear on a reality tv show, who live thousands of miles from them and about whom they have no real knowledge, I don’t know what to say.
I don’t like Jenelle, let me tweet NC police. Seems like a solid plan. Not. Come on.
So what the fuck are doing here, Sam, if we’re such bottom feeders. In the United States of America it’s a PENALTY to lie under oath. He just testified in a court hearing about the children that he shot the dog. They are both liars. If you’re so triggered by this site simply piss off somewhere else mate.
Oh, so you’re the one that calls CPS on someone you’re fighting with on the internet. Pretty sure Tamara just checked you on your “facts,” not me.. I’m sure I’d die in a world of flame if you had a clue who I am.
Keep being you, beautiful!
I’m not sure what this flamewar is about, but I have a feeling you are both on the same side and are just confused by each others wording.
In the past I have not been a fan of Radar Online, but lately they have seemed to have REALLY improved. Especially for legal cases where they post the court documents. They have a new story today with no court docs, probably because it was a child custody case. But they claim to have a witness who was in court during David’s testimony with lots of details that made me want to puke. It seems he did admit to killing the dog. And he considered killing the other one as well and instead re-homed it. That’s the gist of it, it you are a dog owner, I advise against reading the article as it is rather heartbreaking. God, I’m such a wuss lately.
She thinks standing by and lying for David will prove to him of her devotion and love. Love will cure him of his “mean streak” caused by her behavior or the children’s. She wants the idyllic family we all saw on our tv’s or we were certain other kids at school had. She is incapable of supporting herself and those kids on her own plus for whatever reason she is drug free with David. That is also important her. I am just theorizing these could be some of her thinking.
The recent incident has her more committed to David, they bonded tightly over us against the world thinking which can be very dangerous in the future. just my thoughts.
Guns are buried in boxes where they are close at hand 6 feet under..
Same vile behavior they always display.
They live on a road called Money Hole?! Did they name it that?! That’s what caught my eye bc the rest is their same nonsense
That is the actual name of the road. And no, they didn’t name it. Welcome to the south. When I lived in Libya, the streets had no names… well the residential streets didn’t so we named them things like Lovers Lane (that’s the only one I remember because I was a kid and it made me giggle) But there were others.
I’m sure there are weird street names everywhere, but I’ve only lived in the South in this country… So I think maybe we are just weird. 🙂
