Welcome to Arrest Stories. Kyle Chrisley, son of reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, was arrested in Rutherford County, Tennessee on multiple charges including domestic assault, resisting arrest, and assaulting officers. Here's what may have happened.
The thirty-four-year-old was taken into custody around seven p.m. on a Saturday evening after what authorities describe as a violent confrontation with deputies. According to police reports, Chrisley had been drinking at a restaurant before the incident unfolded.
Deputies responded to find Chrisley walking down the middle of a street while his wife followed him in her car. Officials reported that Chrisley was acting belligerently and had jumped out of a vehicle prior to their arrival. The situation escalated quickly when law enforcement attempted to make contact.
"When attempting to speak with Mr. Chrisley, he became immediately aggressive, charged at deputies and began to throw punches and assault deputies," according to official statements. Chrisley allegedly made both suicidal and homicidal threats during the encounter, telling officers he would kill them.
The physical altercation resulted in injuries to three deputies who sustained punches to their faces and heads as Chrisley resisted arrest. Officers deployed OC spray before successfully taking him into custody. "After a physical altercation and deployment of OC Spray, Mr. Chrisley was taken into custody," authorities confirmed.
Chrisley was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center that same night with bond set at eighty-eight thousand five hundred dollars. He faces charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, domestic assault, public intoxication, and assaulting a first responder.
This arrest comes amid ongoing legal battles for the Chrisley family. Kyle and his wife previously sued Rutherford County and two sheriff deputies in August over his September arrest for aggravated assault. Court dates are scheduled for January twenty-seventh and February twenty-sixth.
