Then, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office told the publication that Michelle was released on a $1,000 bond. 
At that time, the Everywhere singer issued a statement that read, “To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward.”
