In the latest news that surprises nobody, Kieffer Delp— the ex-boyfriend of Teen Mom 2 ‘star’ Jenelle Evans— was arrested for allegedly running a meth lab in his basement last Wednesday. The 28-year-old faces felony charges for operating a methamphetamine lab, possession with intent to deliver, possession of substances for methamphetamine, and waste in manufacture of methamphetamine and possession and prohibited acts, according to a court docket viewed by Page Six. That’s a lot of felonies.

Apparently, neighbors had been complaining about Delp’s apartment for several years. McKees Rocks Police Chief Richard Deliman told CBS Pittsburgh: “We conducted a search warrant on that apartment and we found items, chemicals, items that were used to substantiate that we were correct in what was going on in there…Most of those chemicals have a strong chemical odor to them, so we utilized the Pa. State Police to bring in their clandestine laboratory.”

Delp was unable to post his $50,000 bail and is being held in the Allegheny County Jail in PA. This is the latest in a string of multiple arrests, one of which took place with Jenelle in 2010 after the two got caught breaking and entering and were charged with drug possession in Oak Island, N.C.
Jenelle was sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation and monthly drug and alcohol tests, and kept her nose clean afterwards. Delp was arrested for cocaine possession, several other drug charges, as well as for punching a woman and her friend in the face the following year—three separate events.
