Legal Troubles
In August 2010, Kelly was arrested in North Carolina on a charge of driving while intoxicated. In November 2010, she pleaded guilty, was fined, and was sentenced to 12 months unsupervised probation.
On March 31, 2012, Kelly was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse, and was released on $50,000 bail. After being released on bail, Kelly went onto her Facebook account to ask for money and to claim that her boyfriend, John Michas's injuries were self-inflicted. She later made public statements claiming that she was set up by her boyfriend who injured himself in an effort to frame the actress as a domestic abuser. On April 4, 2012, she tweeted that she was "relieved the nightmare is over". On May 12, 2012, TMZ reported that the LA County DA declined to file charges.
In November 2012, she was arrested again for allegedly assaulting her 61-year-old husband.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or troubles:
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
“Our troubles keep us going.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
