A month after entering a plea deal, Kyle Chrisley, brother of Real Housewives star Savannah Chrisley, has pleaded guilty to one count of resisting arrest stemming from an alleged assault on a police officer in Rutherford County, Tennessee. This development comes despite the dismissal of all additional charges against him by the court.

According to records viewed by Us Weekly, Kyle entered his plea at a hearing last month. The indictment, obtained by Us in June, accused Kyle of "unlawfully and knowingly" committing an assault on a police officer by "striking said officer with his hand or fist." Three officers allegedly sustained injuries during the incident.

The events that led to Kyle's arrest began on December 20, 2025, when his wife, Ashleigh Nelson, called police claiming Kyle was being "belligerent" as he walked down the middle of the road. When officers arrived, they reported Kyle became immediately aggressive and charged at deputies, throwing punches and assaulting them. The officers claim Kyle threatened to kill one of them in retaliation for being arrested and attempted to resist by using force against them.

The Indictment and Charges Against Kyle Chrisley

The indictment outlined several charges against Kyle, including three counts of assault on law enforcement, three counts of retaliation for past action, one count of resisting arrest, one count of disorderly conduct, and one count of public intoxication. However, following his guilty plea, the court dismissed these additional charges, leaving only the resisting arrest charge intact.

Background and Relationship History

Savannah Chrisley, whose pregnancy announcement on October 27 brought her family back into the spotlight, is set to welcome her first child with fiancé Jason Galanis. The couple's relationship history is marked by controversy, as Galanis's checkered past includes a conviction for multimillion-dollar securities fraud schemes in 2020. He received a commuted sentence from Donald Trump in March 2025, just months before Todd and Julie Chrisley were pardoned for their own fraud convictions.

Galanis also has a history of personal issues, having gone through a messy divorce in 2017 while awaiting sentencing. His ex-wife claimed she was a victim of his fraud and even received compensation from the Victim’s Defense Fund.
