According to booking records, Kelley -- who is the daughter of Wynonna and her first husband, Arch Kelley III -- was arrested in Carroll County, Georgia on Aug. 3 on three misdemeanor counts: fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, driving with a suspended/revoked license and using motorcycle equipment improperly.

Police records obtained by ET show Kelley, 28, was booked at the Carroll County Jail and released a day later on a $2,750 bond. 

The arrest comes almost four months after Kelley was arrested for allegedly exposing herself on a highway in Millbrook, Alabama on April 5. At the time, she was booked on two charges: indecent exposure and obstructing governmental operations. A few days later, booking records showed that a third charge of soliciting prostitution had been added to the two misdemeanors. 

Kelley allegedly "exposed her breasts and lower body" at the intersection of Interstate 65 and Highway 14, in Millbrook, Alabama, according to charging documents obtained by AL.com. According to her booking info, Millbrook was Kelley's most recent city of residence.

The outlet reported that police claim Kelley sat on the roadside, refused to show police identification and refused to cooperate with police when detained.

Kelley has had several legal problems in the past. In 2016, she was arrested for possession of meth, per The Sun. She was ordered to serve 30 days in jail and then attend a court-mandated drug recovery program. However, she left the program before completion and was subsequently sentenced to serve eight years at the West Tennessee State Penitentiary.

She was granted parole and released in November 2019, but was arrested again in August 2021 for a probation violation, according to The Sun. She was released in December 2022, then arrested again in May 2023 for violating an order of protection and her parole. Kelley was released from prison in October 2023.

In March 2022, Kelley gave birth to her daughter, Kaliyah Chanel, while on a leave of absence from jail, and Wynonna, 59, has subsequently been taking care of her granddaughter.

In October 2022, Wynonna appeared for an interview and performance on Today, and revealed that her infant granddaughter had been helping her cope with the loss and loneliness she felt after the tragic death of her mother, Naomi Judd.

"She looks right through me," Wynonna said of Kaliyah. "She gives me hope."

She added: "They give you something to think about other than yourself." 

The singer also joked that "it's nice to be with her because she doesn't care what I look like."

As ET previously reported, Naomi died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April 2022 at age 76. She and Wynonna were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame just one day after her death. 

Wynonna has not commented on her daughter's legal entanglements.
