Drake Von Arrested in Las Vegas for Felony Domestic Battery

 

Adult Performer Drake Von Arrested in Las Vegas for Felony Domestic Battery and Strangulation

Drake Von is one of the most recognizable names in adult entertainment. In addition to his studio work and solo content career, he and his identical twin brother, Silas Brooks, also launched a joint OnlyFans account called The Baconator Twins.

Most recently, he served as co-host of the 2026 GayVN Awards, held on January 22 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. In 2025, he won GayVN awards for Hottest All-Male Creator Collab and Favorite Twink.

Now, his name is making headlines for a very different reason. On June 2, 2026, Drake Von, whose legal name is Dawson Bacon, was arrested by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The 23-year-old content creator faces multiple severe domestic violence charges following an incident at a Las Vegas residence.

The Criminal Charges

Court records indicate that Von faces three separate criminal counts:

•                    Domestic battery by strangulation (Felony)

•                    Coercion constituting domestic violence with threat or use of physical force (Felony)

•                    Domestic battery (Misdemeanor)

Following his booking into a Clark County jail, Von's bond was set at $25,246.

Bodycam Footage and Allegations

Clips described as body camera footage of when officers responded to an altercation at a million-dollar Las Vegas home.

The female accuser told responding officers that Von allegedly strangled her during the fight. She stated on camera that she was unable to breathe and briefly lost consciousness during the encounter.

Von Dismisses Arrest as a "Publicity Stunt"

Von has since been released from custody and is actively denying the allegations. On June 4, 2026, he posted a selfie to his Instagram account with the caption "Feeling good."

In a statement addressing the incident, Von claimed the arrest was merely a "publicity stunt."

A viral video circulating on adult news sites allegedly shows Drake Von in a confrontation involving a knife, though its authenticity has not been independently confirmed. Von dismissed that footage entirely, calling it a "fake video that's old as hell" and unrelated to his active legal case.

We will continue to update this story as court proceedings develop.

In the meantime I'd love to hear about what you think about this situation. Do ya'll think he was in the house when the police was talking to Silas Jump in the comments and voice your opinion.
