Todd and Julie Chrisley are in prison, and Todd just dropped an appeal for a defamation lawsuit filed against him. They still have appeals in the works for their other convictions. Their daughter is even pushing for an investigation into the living conditions in the prisons her parents are in. However, the Chrisley family just escaped one court case.
Here is a look at the criminal charges dropped for the Chrisley family.
Courts Drop Criminal Charges Against Kyle Chrisley
Todd’s son, Kyle Chrisley, was facing criminal charges for an alleged assault at his place of work. According to reports, Kyle and his boss, Deven Campbell, got into an argument at work. A fight started, and Deven filed assault charges against Kyle. However, the criminal charges against Kyle were dropped.
In March 2023, Tennessee police arrested Kyle for felony aggravated assault. This happened two months after Todd and Julie reported to prison to begin their terms. The argument happened at work, and the victim said that Kyle made death threats against him.
The reports indicate that Kyle hit Devin multiple times in the face and body. The victim also claims that Kyle held a knife and threatened to kill Deven. The argument was over a $36 difference in Kyle’s paycheck. Deven said he hid until the police arrived.
Smyrna Court Clerk’s Office revealed prosecutors dismissed the charges before a trial.
Alleged Kyle Chrisley Victim Angry About Court Decision
The victim of the alleged assault, Deven Campbell, said that he is not happy about the dropped charges. What is interesting is that Campbell said that he feels that Kyle got away with it because his “family and fame” make him “above the law” (via In Touch).
The prosecutors blamed Deven for dropping the charges. The prosecutors sent a subpoena for Deven to testify at the trial, but Deven never showed up. Deven claimed he never got the subpoena, and the two men who helped hold Kyle back were also never served. He asked why he wouldn’t show up to testify against the man who attacked him.
“I’ve never been assaulted before; I don’t know what happens. I don’t know the processes are — I still don’t know what’s going on,” Deven said.
Kyle Chrisley had another story. According to Kyle, the charges were dismissed because Deven never showed up. “I do know the court tried multiple times to subpoena him. Fame did not play a role in the court’s decision what so ever,” Kyle said. “If my family were considered to be above the law, why are my parents in federal prison?”
Kyle said he was the employee, which “speaks for itself.” He said that Deven shoved him first, and when he began screaming in Kyle’s face, his PTSD caused him to fight back. He said that since Deven shoved him first, it is an assault by a supervisor in the workplace.
