However, at present, it seems that Madelaine and Jacob's happiness is short-lived, as the latter is facing criminal charges. As per several media reports, the groom, Jacob, who used to be a talent coordinator, was allegedly accused of open firing at three policemen in Texas in March 2023. According to The Washington Post, Jacob LaGrone has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant, which is a first-degree felony in the United States. He could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The incident took place when the officers responded to multiple disturbance calls, and he allegedly fired at them. Jacob appeared at a court on November 30, 2023, and was offered a plea deal of 25 years in prison if he pleaded guilty and forgo a trial. However, if he's convicted of the crime, he could face up to life imprisonment, which is 99 years, as per reports. Jacob's now-wife, Madelaine Brockway, did not attend the court hearing. She has even deleted her TikTok and Instagram accounts due to the immense attention Jacob's criminal charges have attracted.
