Just a few weeks after a $56 million wedding, the husband is now reportedly potentially spending his life in prison as he shot at police officers in Texas.

Jacob Chase LaGrone, 29, whose luxurious $56 million wedding went viral online, could spend the rest of his life in jail for attacking a public servant and even shooting police officers in Texas earlier this year.

His wife, Madelaine Brockway, had deleted all their wedding videos on TikTok after accusations against the husband.

Brockway, a 26-year-old heiress to a Florida car dealership, celebrated her upcoming nuptials with a lavish bachelorette party at a luxurious five-star resort in Utah.

The four-day party set the stage for her highly anticipated wedding in Paris.

Dressed in a stunning Dior Haute couture wedding gown, Brockway walked down the aisle in November to meet her new husband, Jacob Chase LaGrone.

The event, organized by The Lake Como Wedding Planner, showcased the opulence and elegance befitting a high-profile union. Since then, it has been labeled as the 'wedding of the century'.

Brockway and LaGrone's extravagant wedding continued with a remarkable welcome dinner held at a renowned opera house.

The couple had the privilege of enjoying a private performance by Maroon 5, who serenaded them and their guests with their chart-topping hits.

Following their enchanting ceremony, the newlyweds indulged in a memorable overnight stay at the illustrious Palace of Versailles.

The indictment further claims that LaGrone, during the commission of the assault, specifically used or exhibited a deadly weapon—a firearm.

In Texas, any offense against a police officer that causes serious physical harm is classified as a first-degree felony, meaning LaGrone may spend up to life in prison if found guilty.

However, a plea agreement has been made available to the 29-year-old, whereby he would consent to admit guilt in return for a 25-year prison sentence.

On Thursday, Brockway's husband showed up for a motion hearing in the case at Tarrant County District Court in Fort Worth, Texas, but she did not present.

Brockway has made her Instagram account private in addition to removing her TikTok account.
