Devin Strader Speaks Out About Previous Legal Issues
Devin Strader is speaking out after sordid allegations emerged from his past.
The Bachelorette alum, who recently ended his engagement to season 21 lead Jenn Tran, broke his silence on his reported 2017 arrest and restraining order from an unnamed ex-girlfriend.
“There have been many stories and misrepresentations put out in the media that I want to take a moment to address,” his Sept. 19 Instagram Story statement said. “There have been challenges from a low point in my past that have been brought up and severely misconstrued.”
Devin claimed, “The accusations are simply not true.”
Per legal documents obtained by Entertainment Weekly Sept. 17, Devin was arrested for allegedly burglarizing an ex-girlfriend’s Louisiana home in 2017. The outlet, citing an arrest warrant affidavit from Baton Rouge Police Department, noted that Devin’s ex told police at the time that she’d come home from being out of town to discover she’d been robbed, with a diamond necklace—gifted to her by Devin during their relationship—going missing.
According to EW, citing minutes from the East Baton Rouge Parish court, Devin’s ex dismissed the protective order, without prejudice, and “both parties agreed to a Title 3601 stay away order.”
