Wynonna Judd’s daughter, Grace Kelley, has found herself in legal trouble once again, marking her second arrest in just four months. Kelley, who is 28 years old, was recently booked into the Carroll County Jail in Georgia on August 3rd. Her latest charges include driving with a suspended or revoked license, improperly using motorcycle equipment, and fleeing from a police officer. This arrest adds another chapter to a troubling pattern of run-ins with law enforcement.
Following her arrest, Kelley spent one night behind bars before she was released after posting a $2,750 bond. The incident highlights a series of legal issues that Kelley has faced over the years, which seem to be spiraling out of control.
The drama began in April when Kelley was arrested in Alabama. During this arrest, she faced charges of indecent exposure, obstructing governmental operations, and soliciting prostitution. According to reports from local news outlets AL.com and WSFA 12, Kelley allegedly exposed herself at an intersection in Millbrook. This incident was a stark reminder of her ongoing struggles with the law.
This isn't Kelley’s first brush with serious legal trouble. In 2016, she was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, which led to an eight-year prison sentence in 2018. Her time behind bars wasn't straightforward—she was caught violating probation by leaving a court-ordered drug recovery program. In a somewhat hopeful twist, Kelley was granted a temporary leave from prison in March 2022 to give birth to her daughter, Kaliyah.
Kelley’s struggles with the law didn’t end there. After her release from jail in December 2022, she found herself back behind bars in May 2023 for violating an order of protection, a restraining order, and parole conditions. This stint saw her incarcerated at Tennessee’s Putnam County Jail, from which she was released in October 2023.
Throughout these tumultuous times, Wynonna Judd has remained a supportive figure, though she has not publicly commented on her daughter’s legal issues. Instead, Judd has been focused on raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah. In June, Judd opened up about the special bond she shares with her granddaughter in an interview with Us Weekly. She expressed her desire to offer unconditional love and support to Kaliyah, emphasizing that the child’s best is always good enough.
The series of legal troubles faced by Grace Kelley has undoubtedly been challenging for Judd, who has had to balance her public persona with the private struggles of her family. Despite the ongoing legal battles, Judd's commitment to providing a loving environment for her granddaughter remains steadfast.
Kelley’s repeated encounters with the law are a sobering reminder of how personal struggles can sometimes lead to a cascade of legal issues. Her story underscores the importance of addressing underlying issues and seeking support to break the cycle of repeated legal troubles.
