Earlier this month, The Ashley broke the news that Jenelle Evans’ manager-turned-boooyfriend, “August Keen” had called 911 asking for help because he claimed the fired Teen Mom star was very drunk and had been “hitting him all night.” After the release of the 911 call audio, “August” and Jenelle downplayed the event, but in new footage from the night— taken on the officers’ body cam— it shows just how close Jenelle came to getting arrested for domestic violence!

The body cam footage– exclusively obtained by The Ashley from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department— also shows “August” (real name: Daniel Miranda) making a number of eyebrow-raising claims. Not only does “August” tell the police that Jenelle “used to be an alcoholic,” but he also refers to her three kids as his “stepkids”— and claims that he and Jenelle have been together “about two-and-a-half years!”

(As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Jenelle filed for legal separation from her husband, David Eason, in late February of this year. Until that time, she was married to and supporting David, which means that “August” either exaggerated to the cops about how long he’s been with Jenelle, or Jenelle was cheating on David for years with “August.”)

The body cam footage— which was filmed outside Jenelle’s Las Vegas rental home on August 31– begins with “August” emerging from the porch/bushes (wearing tiger-striped board shorts, as you do) and explaining to the cops that Jenelle is wasted and had been threatening to call the police on him if he tried to leave her home.

“So, my girlfriend’s drunk and I’m trying to go home, but I want to grab my stuff,” he said. “…Then she started getting into the threatening s**t. So, I called the cops. I just want to protect myself. I just want to grab my s**t and go to my house.”

“August” then tells the cops that Jenelle had “about eight to 12 drinks” (just as he stated in the 911 call he made that night). The cops remind “August” that, on the 911 call, he stated that Jenelle had been hitting him “all night.” He tells the cops that he’s not injured and doesn’t want to press charges against his sloshed soulmate. The cop, however, tells “August” that it’s not up to him if charges are pressed or not.

“The State presses charges for you,” the cop said. “You alleged that she hit you.”

As you may remember, “August” vehemently denied in a statement issued shortly after The Ashley released the 911 call that Jenelle hit him. (He told Us Weekly, “No, I was not hit, I have a zero tolerance for violence and would not stick around any [domestic violence] situations.”)

 Here, however, he confirms that Jenelle did, indeed, put hands on him.

“She did [hit me]. But there’s nothing wrong with me, and she does have kids,” he tells the cops. 

The cops then inform “August” that, in Nevada, authorities speak to both the victim and the alleged abuser. If the alleged abuser (in this case, Jenelle) admits that she did hit “August,” then she will go to jail, regardless if “August” wants to press charges or not. 

“She better not to admit to it,” ‘August’ says. “We still have a house to run.” 

By this time, “August” seems to be really regretting telling the 911 operator that Jenelle had been hitting him. 

“I don’t want her to go to jail,” he says.

He then confirms that, despite what he said in his statement about Jenelle’s kids not being present during the fight, they were, indeed, at home while this was all going down.

“We got three kids in there,” he confesses. 

“We’ve got businesses, we’ve got a house to run, we’ve got responsibilities,” ‘August’ adds. “The kids go, she goes, it’s a big deal, you know what I’m saying? We have a family.”

The cop then questions “August” about how drunk he is himself. Although he admitted to having “two to three drinks,” the cop wasn’t buying it.

“You look like you’ve had a little more than three drinks,” the cop says.

“August” insists he’s just tired, and that “working all day” and then dealing with a drunken Jenelle is exhausting.

“She put us through this,” he says.

“August” then confirms that he is living with Jenelle and her three kids, although he does have his own house that’s not too far from Jenelle’s rental, where he desperately wants to retreat to so he can “put some space between” him and Jenelle. He assures the cops that he won’t be driving there on his own, and that he has already secured a friend to come pick him up from Jenelle’s abode. 

The cops are still trying to make contact with Jenelle, whom “August” claims is passed out in her room. “August” is eager to move things along and repeatedly refuses to give details about the alleged domestic violence committed against him.

“Since you’re unwilling to talk to me any further, I can’t force you to,” the cop tells him.

“August” then says he’s going to text Jenelle and tell her that the cops are there and to “open the door” so he can grab his stuff. 

As the cop goes over the Nevada domestic violence laws and informs “August” that Jenelle will be arrested if she admits that she hit him, “August” seems distraught. He insists he has no injuries from the alleged assault by Jenelle. 

“We have businesses together. We have children together!” he says. “It’s not a big deal.”

The cop says that they’re required by law to arrest Jenelle for domestic violence if she admits that she hit her boyfriend.  

“That statement alone gets her thrown in jail,” the cop tells “August,” who then starts texting someone. 

“Anytime we have someone admit [they hit someone], [or we have] a witness, or injuries, the person goes to jail,” the cop says. 

“August” then tells the cops that he and Jenelle “have a great relationship”— but then claims that Jenelle “used to be an alcoholic.” 

“She used to go to alcohol classes. She had a few drinks…” he tells the cop.

“We’re in a serious relationship. We raise these kids,” ‘August’ says, referring to Jenelle’s kids Jace, Kaiser and Ensley. (As The Ashley reported, Jace is no longer living with Jenelle, but at the time of this incident on August 31, Jace was living there and present.) 

The cop asks if all three kids belong to him and Jenelle, and he admits that they’re not his kids, but are his “stepkids.” 

He then drops a bombshell, stating that he and Jenelle have been together “about two-and-a-half years.” 

(If true, this would mean that Jenelle and “August” have been seeing each other since early 2022.) 

“We raise these kids together,” he says again.

As The Ashley reported, Jenelle did not answer the door for the cops and therefore was not arrested. No charges were filed for the incident. You can listen to the 911 call made by “August” earlier that night below.
