Breaking News: Adult Film Star Drake Von Arrested in Las Vegas on Heavy Domestic Battery Charges

Posted by: Blogging About... | June 15, 2026

The adult entertainment world was shaken this week following the arrest of 23-year-old adult film star Drake Von (legal name Dawson Bacon). While Von initially took to the media to claim the incident was nothing more than a "publicity stunt," official police documentation reveals a far more severe and violent reality.

Here is what we know about the allegations and the ongoing legal case.

The Incident: What the Police Report Alleges

According to a Las Vegas police report, the arrest stemmed from a verbal argument between Von and his girlfriend that rapidly escalated into physical violence.

The victim told Detective D. Groberski that the argument began in a car after she threw a promise ring out of the window. The dispute continued once they returned to their residence. When she attempted to call a friend to pick her up, Von allegedly:

• Confiscated her cell phone and refused to return it.

• Ordered her to get onto her knees and apologize to him.

• Kicked her and forced her to the ground.

• Strangled her by applying intense pressure to her throat, restricting her breathing until she temporarily blacked out.

Once she regained consciousness, the victim was able to flee the residence, meet her friend, and contact the police. Authorities noted that her physical injuries—including a bruise above her right eyebrow, a scratch on her hand, and visible redness on her neck—were entirely consistent with her account of being strangled.

SWAT Team Called to the Scene

The arrest itself required a high-level law enforcement response. Because responding officers spotted an empty firearm magazine on Von's coffee table upon entering the residence, a SWAT team was dispatched to safely secure the apartment and take him into custody.

Upon his arrest, Von—who reportedly has a previous arrest record for domestic battery—refused to speak with detectives and immediately requested his attorney.

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.
