AMERICAN IDOL STAR KELLIE PICKLER'S FATHER ARRESTED AGAIN AND IN JAIL

Kelli Pickler's Father In Jail For Second Time

The father of American Idol star and North Carolina native Kellie Pickler was back in jail Friday. He was released from a Florida prison last year after serving a three-year sentence for stabbing his neighbor. This time he’s in jail in North Carolina, but the charges are similar to those he faced last year. The arrest warrant filed against Mr. Pickler by his own wife. The statements she claims he made and the actions she claims he took were enough for sheriff’s deputies to make an arrest early Wednesday morning. Clyde Pickler Jr., 42, is in the Stanley County jail under a $20,000 bond. According to the Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris, Pickler faces multiple charges, including “assault on a female communicating threats and assault with a deadly weapon; he was arrested without incident.” Clyde Pickler’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 28. His daughter Kellie is moving on with her signing career, and so far she isn’t commenting on her father’s latest arrest.
