On March 14, Kyle Chrisley was arrested for “aggravated assault” in Smyrna, Tennessee. “He was booked into Rutherford County Adult Detention Center and later released on $3,000 bond,” a representative for the Sheriff’s Department confirmed. According to a report from TMZ, the reality star’s recent run-in with the law stemmed from a fight with his supervisor at Penske Truck Rental. As of this writing, further details regarding his arrest and pending release have yet to be announced.
Kyle’s latest legal troubles come right on the heels of the imprisonment of his father, Todd Chrisley, and stepmother, Julie Chrisley, for bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022. The reality TV couple was indicted in 2019 after a lengthy investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into their financial affairs. In June 2022, they were found guilty and convicted on all counts. Todd was sentenced to 12 years behind bars, while Julie received a seven-year sentence.

Their length of sentences reflect the magnitude of their criminal scheme.” Following his parents’ sentencing, Kyle posted a cryptic Instagram story with the bible verse Matthew 7:1-3.
