Chrisley, who gained fame on the “Chrisley Knows Best” show that
featured his parents and close-knit family, was allegedly drunk
at a Twin Peaks restaurant on Jan. 6 and refused to leave when
asked by the manager, according to an Atlanta police report. He
allegedly slapped the manager twice in the face, including once
while he was on the phone with 911, according to audio of the
call that was released.
“Chase Chrisley had done the right thing that evening by calling
a driver to take him home,” Adam Ambrose, a representative for
Chrisley, said in a statement Monday. “He did not assault
anyone. Chase was trying to close out his tab and leave.”
The police report said the manager told officers that the
28-year-old Chrisley was acting “very disrespectful and
belligerent,” refused to leave several times and that his
behavior worsened, leading to the slapping.
Chrisley left with his driver before officers arrived, police
said. He was released on a $10,000 bond after his arrest
Thursday on suspicion of simple battery. Chrisley’s parents,
Todd and Julie Chrisley, are both in prison on bank fraud and
tax evasion charges. A jury in 2022 found them guilty of
conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30
million in fraudulent loans. The older Chrisleys were also found
guilty of tax evasion by hiding their earnings.
