The Sister Wives star is a man of many talents. But Kody Brown is not one to mess with the law. In the past, he has been known to steer clear of any legal trouble. Fans will recall he went as far as to leave Utah in the middle of the night when he thought he’d be arrested for practicing polygamy. So, what exactly happened to put Kody on a wanted sign? 
Was Kody Brown arrested?
In December, E! News reported that Kody had a brush with the police, where he was almost incarcerated. However, a clip has been circulating in which Robyn Brown opens up about her husband’s run-in. In 2010, the entire Brown family was worried that Kody could face jail time for practicing his religion. The fourth and favorite wife noted, “The state of Utah was threatening prosecution because of our beliefs, because we were a plural family.” Robyn added, “We basically moved because we were trying to be family without being torn apart or thrown in jail.”
However, in 2016, Fox13 reported that the Lehi Police Department had never opened an investigation into Kody. The entire family struggled with being open about polygamy. Robyn recalled that her friend would “look at me like I’m wrong or I’m a sinner because I was a part of a plural family.” At the time, Utah’s Federal Solicitor Parker Douglas noted, “The practice of the Utah Attorney General’s office is not to prosecute polygamists living in Utah under Utah’s criminal bigamy statute merely because of their polygamist practice.” So it seems Kody was never in any real danger. And Sister Wives fans know that Kody would not have done well behind bars.
