The 34-year-old was taken into custody by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday (Dec. 20), according to TMZ.
He was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center later that evening.

Ongoing Legal Battles
This arrest follows an active civil lawsuit filed by Kyle and his wife, Ashleigh, against Rutherford County and two sheriff’s deputies in August 2025.

The lawsuit stems from a September 2024 arrest, when Kyle was charged with aggravated assault.
According to court documents, the couple alleges that Kyle was “punished for calling for help” during a violent encounter with a mechanic. They claim the individual threatened them, rammed their SUV, and nearly ran Kyle over in front of neighbors.
The Chrisleys are seeking $1.7 million in damages, plus attorney fees and a jury trial.
“Our hopes for this lawsuit are accountability and change,” Kyle’s attorney, Wesley Clark, said at the time, “because no family should have to endure what the Chrisley family endured in this terrifying scenario.”
A History of Trouble
Kyle was also arrested in March 2023 after allegedly assaulting a supervisor at a truck rental company in Smyrna, Tenn.
