• Kyle Chrisley was arrested Saturday night in Rutherford County, Tennessee, and booked into the county detention center.
• He faces multiple charges including domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, assaulting a first responder and resisting arrest.
• The charges also include three counts of retaliation tied to alleged past actions against an individual.
• This follows prior legal trouble; Kyle previously faced aggravated assault charges and has sued the county and deputies.
Arrest details and booking
Kyle Chrisley, son of reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, was taken into custody by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday night around 7 p.m., according to local reports. He was later booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.
Local officials have not released a full account of the events that led to the arrest. TMZ first reported the booking and listed the charges filed against him.
Charges listed by authorities
The charges against Kyle Chrisley include:
- Domestic assault
- Public intoxication
- Disorderly conduct
- Three counts of assaulting a first responder
- Resisting arrest
- Three counts of retaliation related to alleged past actions
The assaulting-a-first-responder counts indicate allegations that he harmed or threatened emergency personnel. The retaliation charges suggest prosecutors believe the alleged actions were tied to someone’s prior conduct toward him. Rutherford County officials declined to provide additional specifics about the incident.
Prior legal history
This is not Kyle Chrisley’s first run-in with the law. He was arrested just over a year ago on aggravated assault charges. After that arrest he filed a civil suit seeking roughly $1.7 million, accusing Rutherford County and two deputies of an unfair or improper arrest.
That earlier case and lawsuit are part of an ongoing legal backdrop for Kyle Chrisley, who has remained a public figure in part because of his family’s reality TV profile.
Family context: parents’ pardon
The arrest comes in the same year Kyle’s parents — Todd and Julie Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best — received a presidential pardon after convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion. The pardon drew national attention and renewed public focus on the family.
What happens next
TMZ reports that attempts to reach Kyle Chrisley’s attorney for comment were unsuccessful as of publication. The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office has not released a full incident report; charging documents and court filings will provide more detail as the case proceeds.
If formal charges are filed, the case will move through the county court system where prosecutors must present evidence and Kyle Chrisley will have the opportunity to respond. Given his previous legal actions against the county, additional filings may follow.
We will update this story as new information becomes available, including comment from his legal team or official records from Rutherford County.
