Kyle Chrisley, the son of reality star Todd Chrisley, had been arrested in Tennessee on suspicion of aggravated assault, the Rutherford Country Sheriff’s Office confirmed to CBS News on Tuesday. The arrest comes just about two months after his father and stepmother began serving lengthy prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion.
Chrisley, who was a fixture on the reality series ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ was arrested by Smyrna police, after which he was booked into Rutherford Country Adult Detention Center, before being released on a $3,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office. The town of Smyrna is located in the Nashville metropolitan area. Todd Chrisley is serving a 12-year federal prison sentence, while his wife Julie Chrisley is serving a seven-year federal prison sentence.

Kyle’s arrest comes in the same year that his father and stepmother surrendered to separate federal prisons in Florida and Kentucky respectively on charges of tax evasion and defrauding community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. The couple spent millions on designer brand clothes, luxury cars, and real estate, including two mansions in Nashville, Tennessee, reportedly worth about $9 million.
