Drake Von Arrested For Domestic Battery, Accused Of Strangling Victim In Las Vegas
Gay-for-pay porn star Drake Von, legal name Dawson Bacon, has been arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada and charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation, felony coercion of domestic violence using physical force, and misdemeanor domestic battery. The victim has not (and likely will not, unless they choose to come forward) been identified, but the violent attack is said to have taken place in a Las Vegas home yesterday, June 2nd.
The docket from Clark County, Las Vegas is below (click to enlarge):
23-year-old Dawson Bacon—who began performing in gay porn at the age of 18 alongside his twin brother, Silas Brooks—is still in custody in a Las Vegas jail as of post time, with bond set at $25,246. Note that that bond includes $23,250 for the new domestic battery charges, and also a $1,996 bond for Bacon’s pre-existing charge of driving without a license.
As Str8Up first reported nearly one year ago (and periodically mentioned when Men.com released one of his new scenes), a warrant was issued for Bacon’s arrest last August after he was charged with driving without a license and insurance, as well as not having his vehicle registered. Despite that outstanding arrest warrant, Bacon co-hosted the GayVN Awards in January, continued to film for Men.com, and even appeared in a “reality” show in Florida for OutTV. Now, he’s accused of strangling someone and faces at least 12 years in prison for the two felonies.
Bacon’s next court date for a status hearing is July 1st. This is a developing story…
