On Saturday, April 12, Jenelle Evans called the police on her son Jace, 15, whom she claimed was "smashing everything in the house."
The 911 call, obtained by The Ashley's Reality Roundup and featured below, had Evans, 33, requesting a "police officer to come to the house right now."
“There’s debris of a broken door everywhere!” the Teen Mom 2 alum continued, emphasizing twice that the teen was "smashing everything" in their Las Vegas home. “He picked up the cage — the dog cage — and fucking threw it, pardon my language ... down the stairs," she further claimed.
Evans denied that there were any drugs or alcohol involved in the situation, and when asked if Jace had "any weapons" on him, the former reality star responded: "Not that I know of."
When asked if Jace had been diagnosed with any mental health disorders, Evans responded that he has ADHD and "defiant disorder," neither of which, she admitted, he is medicated for. She went on to describe her eldest son's physical appearance to the 911 operator when prompted, giving his full name, date of birth, and the outfit that he was wearing. She also clocked Jace at 5'2 with an "athletic" build.
As longtime Teen Mom viewers know, Jenelle spent more than half of her eldest son's life trying to gain custody of him from her mom, Barbara Evans — custody the social media influencer gave her mother when Jace was a baby, recognizing that she was not mature enough to parent at the time and wanting to party instead.
After years of legal woes, relationship drama, and a contentious relationship with Barbara that played out on MTV for over a decade, Jenelle gained custody of Jace in March 2023, when he was 13 years old. The teen subsequently ran away from Jenelle and then-husband David Eason's North Carolina home multiple times. That October, Eason allegedly strangled Jace and was subsequently charged with felony Assault by Strangulation and misdemeanor child abuse. (Per In Touch Weekly, both Jenelle and Eason claimed Barbara was lying in her police report, in which she stated that Jace told her Eason had physically assaulted him.)
Jenelle and Eason eventually separated, and she moved to Las Vegas with her three children. (In addition to Jace, Jenelle is mom to son Kaiser, 10, whom she shares with ex Nathan Griffith, and daughter Ensley, 8, whom she shares with Eason. Jace's father is Jenelle's ex Andrew Lewis.)
If Jenelle's Saturday 911 call seems familiar, it's because she made a nearly identical call in October 2024, claiming that Jace was "smashing things" in their home and had run away twice that weekend. At the time, The Ashley reported, Jace was removed from the family home. He returned nearly one month later.
Per The Ashley, Jenelle requested on Saturday that Jace be put on a 72-hour psychiatric hold, but was denied because he was deemed not a threat to himself or others.
Jenelle, for her part, has been sharing multiple Instagram Stories of her and longtime friend Tori Rhyne partying in a hot tub in Arizona.
