Below Deck Stars' Legal Woes: Arrests and Allegations Emerge
2 Sep
Summary
- Kyle Dickard arrested for running onto a soccer field and bribery attempt.
- Kate Chastain faced battery charges after a domestic dispute.
- Below Deck alums have encountered legal troubles post-show.
- Dickard's actions caused crowd unrest and field incursions.
Reality stars from the popular series Below Deck have found themselves in legal predicaments beyond their on-screen antics.
Kyle Dickard, who left Below Deck Adventure early, was arrested in November 2022. He allegedly ran onto a soccer field during a game and subsequently attempted to bribe officials. Court documents indicate Dickard's interference led to unruly crowd behavior and further field incursions.
Dickard's public response included a social media post with a photo of himself and his mugshot, captioned "How it started vs. How it ended." He humorously noted he would have scored if he had been wearing a belt.
This is not an isolated incident for the franchise. In 2016, Kate Chastain was charged with domestic violence battery by strangulation. The charges stemmed from an alleged physical altercation with her girlfriend. During the incident, Chastain accused her partner of instigating the fight.
Chastain later addressed the situation on social media, expressing hope for the truth to emerge and for peace to be restored. The charges against her were subsequently dismissed. The experience prompted Chastain to become more discerning in her future relationships.
