Legal Troubles of Grace Kelley: Explained
Naomi Judd’s granddaughter’s legal troubles started when she was still a teenager. Police arrested Kelley for the first time on June 14, 2016. In May 2017, the trial happened, and she confessed to the crime of manufacturing, delivery, and possession with intent to sale. So, she was sentenced by two separate Tennessee counties for a total of 11 months and 29 days in jail.
After pleading before the courts, the Williamson County and Maury County came to an agreement of suspending the sentence after 30 days serving behind the bars, and then to continue on probation. As a result, Grace was released by the Williamson County Detention Center on June 16, 2017. But, she had to undergo a drug program ordered by the honorable court.
But, in 2018, Naomi’s granddaughter didn’t respect the court orders, and broke the probation. So, the Tennessee court ordered her to serve a sentence of eight years in prison. However, she was again granted parole in November 2019, and got released five years early.
