Savannah Chrisley is being criticized for her shocking reaction to Kyle’s arrest — Here’s why
Kyle Chrisley was taken into custody in Tennessee on several charges, including domestic assault and public intoxication, officials said.
The 34-year-old son of “Chrisley Knows Best” stars Todd and Julie Chrisley was arrested by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday, Dec. 20, around 7 p.m., according to TMZ. He was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center later that evening.
TMZ reported that Kyle has been charged with domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, assaulting a first responder, resisting arrest and retaliation for past actions.
The arrest comes months after Kyle and his wife, Ashleigh, filed a lawsuit against Rutherford County and two sheriff’s deputies in August.
The suit stemmed from Kyle’s September 2024 aggravated assault arrest, which the couple alleges was unjust.
In court documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time, Kyle’s attorneys claimed he was unfairly detained and “punished for calling for help.”
His lawyer, Wesley Clark of Brazil Clark, PLLC, said, “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.”
The lawsuit read in part, “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.” The filing further claimed deputies “didn’t arrest the man who caused the chaos” and instead took Kyle into custody.
The lawsuit seeks $1.7 million in damages, plus attorney fees, citing reputational harm and emotional distress. His latest arrest follows the recent presidential pardon of his parents, ending their high-profile fraud case.
