Groom faces serious jail time after $89 million "wedding of the century"
A groom whose viral $89 million wedding was dubbed the "wedding of the century" is now facing a possible life sentence in prison.
Jacob LaGrone, 29, and wife, car dealership heiress Madelaine Brockway, took social media by storm last month after videos of their lavish, five-day wedding in France went viral on TikTok.
The wedding which featured an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera House, and a performance by Maroon 5 at the Texan couple's reception, was nothing short of amazing.
Now, instead of going on their honeymoon, the groom could be facing life in prison, after getting arrested for allegedly shooting at three police officers in an incident on March 14.
The Nashville native was indicted eight months ago on three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant, which is a first-degree felony in Texas, that, if convicted, could see him face a sentence from less than five years to life in prison.
According to city officials, officers responded to multiple disturbance calls about a gun being discharged at a home – and when the three officers arrived, "they were fired upon” by LaGrone.
An indictment obtained by The Washington Post, said that LaGrone "did intentionally and knowingly threaten imminent bodily injury" to the officers and “did use or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault, namely, a firearm”.
The indictment did not specify where the incident took place, and no further details were given regarding the disturbance calls.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the Tarrant County District Attorney offered LaGrone a plea deal of 25-years in jail .
Neither LaGrone nor his wife have publicly addressed the charges, and both have since made their social media accounts private.
