Todd Chrisley's Oldest Son Allegedly Had A Violent Episode During Domestic Assault Arrest

The drama surrounding Todd Chrisley's oldest son, Kyle Chrisley's arrest, continues with allegations of violence and death threats.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" alum was taken into police custody over the weekend on multiple charges, including assault. New details of his run-in with the law revealed that Kyle had allegedly attacked responding officers.

Todd Chrisley welcomed Lindsie and Kyle Chrisley during his first marriage to Teresa Terry. He welcomed three more children with his current wife, Julie Chrisley, and they also raise their granddaughter, Chloe Chrisley.

According to a statement from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office, Kyle's wife had called them for help. She told dispatchers her husband was "being belligerent" and walking down the middle of a two-lane street while she followed him in her car.

When officers finally found Kyle, they claimed he was not willing to talk to them. Instead, "he became immediately aggressive, charged at deputies, and began to throw punches and assault deputies," the Sheriff's office told Page Six, adding:

"After a physical altercation and deployment of OC Spray, Mr. Chrisley was taken into custody."

An affidavit from Kyle's arrest shed more light on what happened, with TMZ reporting that his wife had told dispatchers he was making suicidal and homicidal threats. She explained that they had gone out for dinner earlier that evening on Saturday when Kyle turned aggressive.

According to Kyle's wife, he suddenly picked up a fork, pointed it at her, and threatened her. The incident at the dinner did not seem to escalate further until they were driving home, with Kyle's wife alleging that he started yelling and made her "fear that he would assault her."

Kyle's violent episode appeared to have been alcohol-fueled, with officers claiming he confessed to drinking approximately 64 ounces of beer at the restaurant. He also seemed to be under the influence when responding officers approached him.

According to the affidavit, when officers from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office arrived, Kyle walked away from them and refused to listen to their commands. When he finally chose to stop, it wasn't to comply but to throw hands.

Kyle allegedly attacked the officers, punching three of them in the face and head, leading to multiple injuries. He also threatened to "kill all of them" and earned numerous charges for these alleged actions, including domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and assaulting a law enforcement officer.

The list continued with counts for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and retaliation for past actions. The Blast covered the story of Kyle's arrest, reporting that he was taken into custody around 7 PM on Saturday, December 20, and booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.

Kyle's run-in with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office marked another sore spot between the pair, as they had previously butted heads in September 2024. At the time, Kyle was taken into custody for aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

However, he turned the tables on them by suing Rutherford County and two of its deputies. Kyle filed for $1.7 million in damages, accusing the defendants of unfairly targeting him because of his family's name and arresting him for a crime he did not commit.

Kyle's attorney, Wesley Clark, backed his claims, accusing authorities of looking the other way and unjustly arresting his client.

Kyle previously slammed the Sheriff's Office in 2024, ranting on social media that he had been protecting his family from a man who allegedly wanted to extort him. Yet, he was arrested while the real culprit was free.

Todd and Kyle have had a complicated relationship for years, but the father-and-son duo were united during one of the most terrifying moments of Kyle's life. The Blast reported in 2019 that Todd shocked fans when he posted a picture of the Chrisleys by his son's side.

The whole family gathered together in unity by Kyle's hospital bed, with Todd revealing in the caption that Satan had tried and failed to destroy their family. The patriarch shed more light on what happened on their podcast, confessing that Kyle had tried to end his life.

Kyle explained on the episode that he had a bad reaction to a medication, which made him have "all kinds of crazy thinking." He and Todd noted that he was off the drug, but did not specify the product's name or why Kyle had been on it. However, the latter has a history of substance abuse.

Will Todd Chrisley address his son's latest run-in with the law?
