Former ‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Jenelle Evans Husband David Eason is now under investigation by Animal Control after confessing on Instagram to murdering the family dog.

As if this situation could get any worse TMZ reports that before David shot Jenelle’s Frenchie pup Nugget in the woods he first repeatedly slammed the dog on their back deck…

Columbus County Animal Control has had to form a joint investigation with the county police because they feared for their safety during their initial visit to Jenelle & David’s property. The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear if there will be charges against David.

Jenelle confirmed to UsWeekly that David did in fact kill their dog. She also confirmed that David’s 11 year old daughter Marissa was home during this incident and knew what was happening… according to Jenelle, Marissa Locked herself in her bedroom for the remainder of the night.

While Jenelle claimed to the tabloid that she is considering divorcing David, she’s currently on social media defending David against “rumors” his mother is allegedly spreading about him.
