Here comes the … inmate?
The Texas groom featured in a viral $56 million nuptials extravaganza that social media dubbed “the Wedding of Century” could face up to life behind bars if convicted of firing at police officers earlier this year.
Jacob Chase LaGrone, 29, was indicted in August on a felony charge of aggravated assault against a public servant stemming from a March 14 incident in which he allegedly fired at cops in Westworth Village, the Dallas Morning News reported, citing court documents.
LaGrone was arrested at the scene and later released on $20,000 bond, the outlet explained.
The Nashville native – who wed car dealership heiress Madelaine Brockway on Nov. 18 – kept his head down at an appearance at Tarrant County District Court on Thursday, NBC News said.
His new wife was not by his side, the outlet said.
The scene was a far cry from just two weeks earlier, when LaGrone and Brockway were married in a lavish five-day wedding celebration in Paris — an event that spread like wildfire on social media, the Morning News said.
The $56 million festivities included a rehearsal dinner at the Palais Garnier, an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles and even a performance by Maroon 5, the outlet said.
The bride – whose father, Bob Brockway, owns a group of Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Florida – wore a Dior Haute Couture wedding dress.
She is described as a “self-employed entrepreneur” on her LinkedIn page, while the last job listed by her newlywed groom was as a production assistant for country star Jason Aldean in 2018, the Washington Post said.
The charge against LaGrone stems from an incident in which three police officers – one from Westworth Village and two from Westover Hills – responded to a home after receiving multiple calls about a disturbance there, WFAA said.
The indictment claimed that LaGrone did “intentionally and knowingly threaten imminent bodily injury” and “did use or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault, namely, a firearm.”
LaGrone has been offered a deal of 25 years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea, Morning News reported, citing court records. Otherwise, if the case goes to trial and he is convicted, the suspect could face anywhere from fewer than five years to life behind bars.
LaGrone’s lawyer, Jeff Kearny, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Brockway appears to have deleted her TikTok videos documenting the couple’s luxurious wedding. Her personal Instagram page is also now set to private.
