MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) - Kyle Chrisley was arrested Saturday evening in Murfreesboro and now faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from an incident in Rutherford County.
Chrisley, 35, of California Drive in Murfreesboro, was arrested around 7pm and charged with three counts of felony retaliation for past actions, three counts of felony assault on first responders, misdemeanor domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
According to a Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office supervisor, Chrisley faces three counts of felony retaliation for past actions and three counts of felony assault on first responders. He was also charged with misdemeanor domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
Deputies responded to a call after Chrisley’s wife called dispatchers to report her husband was “being belligerent” and walking down the middle of Burleson Lane while she followed him in her car, reported Sgt. Brady Greene.
“When attempting to speak with Mr. Chrisley, he became immediately aggressive, charged at deputies and began to throw punches and assault deputies,” Greene said. “After a physical altercation and deployment of OC spray, Mr. Chrisley was taken into custody.”
Three deputies suffered injuries during the confrontation, according to the sheriff’s office.
Chrisley was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center and later released on an $88,500 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Rutherford County General Sessions Court on January 27th.
Kyle Chrisley has had prior encounters with law enforcement in Rutherford County. In March 2023, he turned himself in following an altercation at a Smyrna business and was charged with felony aggravated assault before being released on bond.
The case remains pending as it moves through the court system.
Chrisley is the son of Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, who rose to national fame through the USA Network reality television series "Chrisley Knows Best." The couple was convicted in 2022 on federal bank fraud and tax evasion charges and began serving prison sentences in 2023. Both were granted clemency earlier this year.
