Award-winning gay adult performer Drake Von has been arrested for a second time this month after being charged with driving under the influence in Las Vegas.
According to official records obtained by TMZ, Von – whose legal name is Dawson Bacon – was arrested for a second time on Saturday, 20 June and charged with one count of misdemeanour DUI in Nevada. Further details about the incident have not yet been made public.
The latest arrest comes just weeks after the 23-year-old was taken into custody in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident involving his partner.
Court records cited by TMZ show that Von was also arrested on 2 June and charged with two felonies: domestic battery by strangulation and coercion constituting domestic violence involving the threat or use of physical force.
He also faces a misdemeanour domestic battery charge. Police alleged that Von attempted to strangle his partner at a Las Vegas residence, though authorities have released few additional details about the alleged incident.
Following his arrest, Von denied the allegations, telling Out that the charges would “be dropped” and that “this was all a publicity stunt”.
The allegations remain unproven, and the case is ongoing.
Von rose to prominence in the gay adult entertainment industry after entering the business at 18 and has built a substantial online following.
In 2024, he received multiple nominations at the GayVN Awards, winning Favourite Twink and Favourite C***.
