Jacob LaGrone, the groom behind a widely publicized $59 million Paris wedding, pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault of a public servant for a March 2023 shooting in North Texas. He was granted deferred adjudication and placed on seven years' supervised probation under undisclosed strict conditions. Prosecutors said they evaluated the evidence and will seek adjudication if probation is violated; LaGrone had previously rejected a 25-year plea offer. No officers were physically injured, and LaGrone was released on a $20,000 bond after his arrest.

Jacob LaGrone, the groom who drew worldwide attention for a reportedly $59 million wedding in Paris, has pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault of a public servant stemming from a March 2023 shooting in North Texas.
According to Tarrant County court records filed Jan. 7, LaGrone, 31, admitted to firing a firearm at three police officers who responded to multiple calls about shots fired at a private residence. The indictment alleges he "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."

Deferred Adjudication And Probation
The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office said LaGrone was granted deferred adjudication and placed on supervised probation for seven years "under strict conditions." Prosecutors warned they will pursue adjudication — which could result in a conviction — if he violates the terms of his probation.
Tarrant County D.A. Phil Sorrells: "Our office carefully evaluated the facts, the evidence, and the likely trial outcomes before reaching this resolution. We support the officers involved and remain grateful that none were physically injured."
Had the case gone to trial, LaGrone faced far harsher penalties: aggravated assault of a public servant is a first-degree felony in Texas and can carry the possibility of life in prison. Prosecutors previously offered him a 25-year plea deal, which he declined.

Case Timeline And Background
LaGrone was arrested after the March 2023 incident, released on a $20,000 bond, and made his first court appearance on Nov. 30, 2023 — roughly two weeks after his high-profile wedding in Paris to car dealership heiress Madelaine Brockway. The multi-day celebrations in 2023 reportedly included a Maroon 5 performance, an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, and a rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera House.
Deferred adjudication in Texas allows a defendant to avoid a formal conviction if they successfully complete probation; charges may then be eligible for expungement. The Tarrant County D.A.'s office did not disclose the specific conditions of LaGrone's supervision.
Personal Aftermath
Since the legal proceedings and the wedding, Brockway has largely kept a lower public profile, though she resumed sharing travel photos with her husband in 2024. In January 2025 she announced the couple was expecting their first child, and in June 2025 she shared that their baby, Rhône Day, had been born.
What Comes Next: LaGrone will remain under court supervision for seven years. If he complies with probation conditions, he may avoid formal conviction and could seek expungement; any violation could reopen the case and lead to adjudication and sentencing.
