Todd and Julie Chrisley’s Son Kyle Arrested on Multiple Charges Months After ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ Stars Were Pardoned by President Trump

Kyle Chrisley, son of "Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, has been arrested on multiple charges, including domestic assault, months after his parents were released from prison.

The 34-year-old was placed in handcuffs by the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m., as first reported by TMZ.

That same night, he was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.

Kyle has been charged with domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, assaulting a first responder, resisting arrest, and retaliation, according to the outlet.

In August, Kyle and his wife, Ashleigh, sued Rutherford County and two sheriff's deputies over his September 2024 brush with the law, which saw him being arrested on an aggravated assault charge.

Documents obtained by People at the time revealed that the reality TV star claimed he was unfairly arrested and "punished for calling for help."

“Our hopes for this lawsuit are accountability and change because no family should have to endure what the Chrisley family endured in this terrifying scenario,” Kyle's lawyer, Wesley Clark, told People.

The suit claimed that, on Sept. 9, 2024, “a disgruntled mechanic, angry over a payment dispute, showed up uninvited, kicked at their doors, threatened violence, and used his car as a weapon by ramming their SUV and nearly running Kyle over in front of multiple neighbors.”

It alleged that officers from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office “didn’t arrest the man who caused the chaos."

“Instead, they arrested Kyle Chrisley, and ignored clear evidence that he was the victim, not the aggressor," it read.

It claimed that the husband and wife duo “bring this lawsuit because no family should face criminal charges or threats of arrest for defending themselves at home or for exercising their constitutional rights. This is a case about false arrest, excessive force and retaliation for trying to hold police officers accountable.”

The lawsuit claimed that the arrest caused Kyle to suffer humiliation and damage to his public reputation, pain and suffering, mental suffering and emotional distress, and economic losses.

His lawyers have requested a trial, in addition to $1.7 million in damages and attorney fees.

In March 2023, Kyle was arrested in connection with a felony aggravated assault in Tennessee.

His brush with the law comes months after his parents were pardoned by President Donald Trump—just over two years after they were sentenced to a collective 19 years behind bars for tax evasion and bank fraud.

The TV personalities, who shot to fame in 2014 with their hit reality series "Chrisley Knows Best," were found guilty in 2022 of conspiring to defraud Georgia banks out of more than $36 million in personal loans and tax evasion.

At the time, Todd, 56, who served time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Pensacola, FL, received a 12-year sentence, which was later reduced to 10 years. Julie, 52, was handed a seven-year sentence, which she served at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, KY.

Since their conviction, the couple's daughter Savannah, 27, fought to have their sentences overturned, issuing public pleas for government support, while alleging that her parents were being subjected to "beyond inhumane" conditions behind bars.

The budding real estate agent—who was raising her brother Grayson, 18, and her 12-year-old niece, Chloe, in her parents' absence—gained a major step forward in her fight for her parents' freedom after Trump phoned her to say that he plans to pardon both Todd and Julie—who are now home and flexing their freedom online.

Before their imprisonment, the Chrisley family was known for flaunting their lavish lifestyle, which included the purchase and sale of several luxurious homes.

In April 2019, Julie bought a posh property in Brentwood, TN, for $3.4 million, having snapped it up from former hockey pro Mike Ribeiro, who had been playing with the Nashville Predators.

The Chrisleys renovated the mansion and, just two months later, put it back on the market for $4.75 million.

However, they struggled to sell it and took it off the market a year later.

Built in 2013, the 12,753-square-foot mansion is outfitted with high-end finishes. Highlights include a formal dining room with hand-painted wallpaper, a rec room, a wine cellar, an indoor sport court, and a wood-paneled office with a decorative ceiling.

Set on an acre, the grounds boast a covered patio with a fireplace and barbecue station, as well as a pool and spa.

For a time, the family used the property as their main residence, having relocated from their former home in the Belle Meade neighborhood of Nashville when it started to draw "unwanted attention from tourists."

The Belle Meade home was purchased by the family for $1.6 million in 2016, when they relocated from Atlanta to Nashville. The home quickly earned its own celebrity profile after being featured on their hit series.

Built in 2014, the four-bedroom, 5,229-square-foot home features a living room with multiple sets of French doors, an open kitchen with a large island, a wet bar, and two fireplaces.

Measuring a little over a half-acre, the outdoor space includes a level lawn and a patio.

In 2020, ownership of the Belle Meade property was transferred to Savannah, and it was understood that this is the home where Todd and Julie would live as soon as they are freed.

They finally managed to sell their Brentwood property in 2023, netting $5.2 million in an off-market transaction that was arranged while the duo were behind bars.

Todd and Julie have a long history of buying and selling homes in Atlanta, before they moved to Nashville.

In 2006, Todd purchased a 16-acre estate in the upscale Buckhead neighborhood. He paid an eye-watering $9 million for the eight-bedroom European-style mansion.

According to reports, he lost the property to foreclosure in 2012.

In the show's first season, the family lived regally in a nine-bedroom, 30,000-square-foot pile in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell.

Located in a gated community, the property offered landscaped grounds, along with a heated saltwater pool and hot tub, an outdoor terrace with a fireplace, and a children's playground.

Initially listed in 2007 for $7 million, the mansion bounced on and off the market for years before finally selling for $1.2 million in 2014.

To maintain camera-ready appearances for their show, the Chrisley family leased a posh place in Suwanee, GA, in 2014.

It was the backdrop of their program after they had to leave their Roswell estate.

Built in 2006, the 7,800-square-foot mansion sits on the sixth hole of the River Club golf course. The custom-built residence features built-ins, teak flooring, fireplaces, an office, and a formal dining room. The primary suite has a fireplace, dual closets, and golf course views—and it was often the focus of scenes in the show.

When it came on the luxury rental market in 2016, the monthly lease was a steep $8,000.

Unrelated to any Chrisley shenanigans, the mansion popped on the market in February for $1,949,000 and was sold a month later for $1,868,000.

The family also laid claim to another Atlanta-area home. The four-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot brick house in Alpharetta was reportedly the home of Todd’s mother, known as “Nanny” Faye on the show.

It was purchased for $452,900 in 2005, and in 2017, it was sold for $540,000.
