It is unclear why Kelley was in Alabama, as a Tennessee resident, and whether she was inside or outside the vehicle during the time of indecent exposure.

Kelley was pregnant while in prison after becoming pregnant while on parole, a fellow inmate told Florence Fort The American sun.
“Grace got pregnant while on parole,” Fort said. ‘When I was in prison with her, she was pregnant. She had her baby’s name picked out. She was excited.”
The troubled young woman’s legal saga stems from an arrest on December 18, 2015 at a Walgreens in Nashville, Tennessee.
The police saw a car with two occupants parked there for a long time.
Noticing that the car had an improperly installed license plate dangling from a single screw, detectives approached the car and found Kelley in the driver’s seat and a man, Richard Wilcutt, in the passenger seat, according to arrest affidavits.
During the interrogation, a concerned citizen presented police with a bag they had seen someone throw from the passenger side of the car, containing a shredded box of pseudoephedrine and a receipt for Coleman fuel.

Recognizing these as ingredients used in making meth, detectives ran the couple’s names through a national database and discovered they had made a pattern of pseudoephedrine purchases consistent with cooking meth.
Using security camera footage, they discovered that Kelley had purchased the pseudoephedrine, which they found in Wilcutt’s possession when he was searched.
Both were arrested and charged with promoting the production of meth, but Kelley later pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession of meth.
In 2023, Kelley served a five-month sentence in the Putnam County Jail after being arrested in May 2023 for violating parole and an order of protection.
She had been released from prison in December 2022, but was rearrested on May 1, 2023 on charges of violating a restraining order and violating her parole.

In 2023, it was revealed that Wynonna has had a rocky relationship with her daughter over the years and in 2013, Wynonna’s actress sister Ashley Judd was awarded temporary custody of Kelley.
A spokesperson for the Tennessee Board of Parole said The American sun: “I can confirm that Ms. Kelley’s parole was revoked until the expiration of her sentence following an August 11, 2023 revocation hearing at the Putnam County Jail.
“It took two concurring votes of board members to reach a final decision, which was reached on August 13, 2023.”
Despite her daughter’s troubled legal history, Wynonna has defended Kelley, calling her the “strongest Judd woman” on The Pursuit! with John Rich in 2020.
‘I’ll tell you this. My daughter is the strongest Judd woman in our “restory,” Wynonna told Rich.
‘She’s healthier than I was when I was 23. How she got there – I wouldn’t go that way, but I got locked up too,” Judd told the show’s host.
