Jenelle Evans has turned herself in after a warrant was out for her arrest in South Carolina yesterday.

Myrtle Beach police reportedly went looking for Evans on Wednesday because her ex-fiance Nathan Griffith, who is the father of her 11-month-old son Kaiser, accused the reality TV star of attacking him in his home to the point where he was left with bruises and scratches all over his body.
"She's just... I think that in her heart she thought that maybe with them breaking up that they would get back together because they have a child together," Evans' lawyer Amy S. Lawrence told Us. "And I think she's just very hurt that he has moved on."
Although Evans, 23, had retweeted her official PR account's claim that Griffith, 27, tried to run her over with his car, Lawrence insisted Griffith doesn't want to see Evans upset nor would he want her to get into big trouble for this.
"He will do everything that he can to get these charges dismissed for Jenelle," Lawrence continued.
"He understands that she's hurt because they've broken up, and he's dating somebody else and things escalated in a way they shouldn't have. But he does not want her to have any kind of criminal consequence for this."
Evans' incident is the latest in a lengthy string of criminal offenses, as the mother of two -- who also has a five-year-old son Jace from a previous relationship -- has been arrested nearly a dozen times since 2010 on drug and assault charges. She was arrested three times in 2013 alone.
