Adam Lind– Baby Daddy of Former ‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Chelsea Houska— Arrested for Domestic Assault

“Save me my special cell, guys!”

Another day, another Teen Mom dad behind bars.

Adam Lind— the father of Chelsea Houska‘s daughter Aubree— landed himself in jail last month, after being arrested on three domestic assault charges. The former Teen Mom 2 dad, whose incredibly long criminal history is well-known to the show’s fans, had (miraculously) managed to keep himself out of jail over the last few years. However, that changed on September 22 when the legally challenged Adam was picked up by cops and hauled off to the Minnehaha County Jail.

Starcasm broke the news on Friday that Adam was given three different domestic “Simple Assault” charges. He was charged with “Attempt/Has Ability to Cause Body Injury” to a female victim. (The Ashley is not revealing the victim’s name, but will say that she is not anyone associated with the show or Chelsea.) Adam was also charged with “Recklessly Causing Bodily Injury– domestic” to the same female victim.

Adam’s third charge was “Causing Bodily Injury– Domestic.” 

“Adam Joseph Lind…did commit the public offense of Simple Assault- Cause Injury/Not Serious Domestic, in that the defendant did intentionally cause bodily injury to [the victim] which did not result in serious bodily injury to [victim],” the document reads. 

All three of Adam’s charges are currently listed as misdemeanors.

According to court documents obtained by The Ashley, Adam pleaded not guilty to all three charges on September 23. He has obtained an attorney and is next expected in court for a pre-trial conference on November 4. His jury trial is scheduled for November 20. 

“Two things about me: I’m always gonna have a bad hairstyle, and I’m always gonna have a pending court trial!”

A no-contact order was issued on September 23, barring Adam from having any contact with the alleged victim, or her family. Adam is also required to maintain “good behavior” and stay in contact with his lawyer. 

He is not currently listed as an inmate in South Dakota. (Sadly the state of South Dakota does not make its mugshots available, so The Ashley was not able to snag a muggy for Adam.) 

I’d like to think his mugshot looks something like this…

According to Starcasm, Adam’s alleged victim’s address is listed as being the same as Adam’s, indicating that they may have been living together. It appears that the alleged victim also has a hefty criminal past of her own.

“The alleged assault victim is a habitual offender with an extensive criminal history,” Starcasm reports. “She was most recently convicted of a very serious drug possession charge last year.”

(According to court documents pulled by The Ashley, the woman has multiple possession of methamphetamine charges.) 

At the time of Adam’s arrest, the woman was out on a suspended sentence. Last week, the court filed a motion to revoke her suspended sentence and a bench warrant was requested. It is unknown if this has anything to do with the incident with Adam. 

Adam has maintained a low profile over the last few years. He stopped filming for ‘Teen Mom 2’ before Chelsea left the show in November 2020. The last time he was “heard from” publicly was back in May 2022, when he was arrested after a bench warrant was issued for violating a July 2017 court order regarding his child support obligations for Aubree.

Adam was released after paying a $2,000 bond later that day. That bond was sent to the Division of Child Support to be applied to Adam’s child support obligations. (In other words, it was sent to Chelsea to go toward the child support debt Adam owes her for Aubree.)

Last year, while doing press for her HGTV show Down Home Fab, Chelsea gave The Ashley a surprising update on Adam

“Our relationship, it’s fine. We’re not best friends, but we’re not enemies at all. If I were to see him, there would be no bad feelings at all,” she stated. “I think it helps that Aubree is a teenager now and there isn’t really a lot of having to work things out [for them]. It really is fine.”

“That was CLEARLY before Adam’s latest run-in with the law!”

Chelsea has not commented publicly on news of Adam’s latest arrest.

  1. The only time this dope used his brain was to get a snip. Too bad other loser TM dads like Rhine, Luis and David (whose new woman will probably have a pregnancy announcement soon) didn’t follow him to the clinic.


  2. Wow Adam’s faux hawk with receding hairline is like art. I am curious how he was able to keep the center patch. It’s like a reverse Kody Brown.
