Grace Kelley, Daughter of Wynonna Judd, Arrested for Indecent Exposure on Highway
DEBARYLIFE – Grace Kelley, 27, a daughter of country music artist Wynonna Judd, was taken into custody on April 5 in Alabama on charges of indecent exposure and impeding government operations. The local sheriff’s office confirmed the arrest.
Grace Kelley, the daughter of Wynonna Judd, is having legal issues. Records from the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department that E! News was able to obtain show that the 27-year-old was taken into custody on April 5 in Alabama and charged with indecent exposure and disrupting government operations. These offenses are misdemeanors.
Charge documents seen by AL.com claim that Grace exposed her lower body and breasts near a busy crossing of Interstate 65 and Highway 14 in Millbrook, Alabama. Grace refused to give her identity to the police when they tried to arrest her, choosing instead to sit down on the side of the road and resist. April 11 is her initial court date.
There was no attorney on file for Grace that E! News could get in touch with to speak for her.
She joins Wynonna and her ex-husband Arch Kelley III’s 29-year-old son Elijah Judd as their second child. Before being divorced in 1998, the pair was wed for two years.
Mother of a small daughter, Grace has had multiple legal run-ins, most notably in 2018 when she was given an eight-year prison sentence for breaking her probation, as reported by Us Weekly and Entertainment Tonight.
Robert Reburn, the East Tennessee public information officer, informed Us Weekly at the time that “Grace Pauline Kelley is serving an eight-year sentence at West Tennessee State Penitentiary, it has been confirmed.”

“On February 8, 2018, Grace’s probation was terminated. Grace received two sentences in June 2016: one for eight years for using meth on a planned basis and another for four years for eluding arrest in July of the same year.
Despite being immensely proud of Grace’s fortitude, Wynonna has hardly talked about her daughter’s legal issues.
“All I have to say is this. “In February 2020, my daughter is the strongest Judd woman in our ‘herstory,'” she declared on The Pursuit! with John Rich. “At 23, I was not as healthy as she is.” I would not go there, but I was also confined. I have no idea how she got there. Mom and I were riding a bus together. Sort of difficult to get into trouble. Thus, if I hadn’t had music, it might have been me, John.”
Politico also reported in 2019 that the country music artist collaborated with White House officials on a fresh criminal justice reform initiative. At that time, the Judds singer said to a Las Vegas news station, “Now I have a personal investment.”
