Jelly Roll's Ex Felicia Beckwith Sparks Attention After Guilty Plea
Jelly Roll’s ex-girlfriend Felicia Beckwith has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge following her 2025 drug arrest, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
Washington County court records confirm that Beckwith pleaded guilty to possession of less than 0.5 grams of fentanyl, which classified as a schedule II drug, on June 18. All other charges were dropped. Us can also confirm via the Washington County court clerk that Beckwith was given a sentence of three years supervised probation.
Beckwith, who is the mother of Jelly Roll’s 18-year-old daughter, Bailee, was arrested in February 2025 alongside two additional individuals in possession of drugs, guns and cash.
According to a March 2025 press release from the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee, deputies initiated a traffic stop for Beckwith, 37, and the other individuals. Law enforcement found a pistol in the driver's door, drug paraphernalia and cash on the others’ persons.
There was a total of 52 grams of Methamphetamine, pills and 12 grams of a white powder substance, which authorities believed to be Fentanyl, found in the car. Beckwith was in possession of one bag that contained portions of the Methamphetamine, the alleged Fentanyl and pills.
Following the traffic stop, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for a residence believed to be associated with one of the other individuals in the car with Beckwith. Police found 291 grams of Methamphetamine, 16 and a half grams of a substance that was either Methamphetamine or Fentanyl and seven sets of scales at the home. There were also three loaded handguns found. One of the firearms had the serial number removed.
Beckwith and the two individuals were arrested and transported to the Washington County Detention Center. Beckwith was charged with manufacture/delivery/sell/possession of Methamphetamine, schedule II drug violations, two counts of simple possession/casual exchange and unlawful drug paraphernalia.
Jelly Roll, 41, and Beckwith dated before he became a country superstar. During their relationship, the pair both struggled with substance abuse and spent time in prison. Beckwith gave birth to their daughter while Jelly Roll was behind bars. After welcoming Bailee, Jelly Roll turned his life around to be there for his child.
“I’ve never had nothing in life that urged me in the moment to know that I had to do something different. I have to figure this out right now,” he recalled of learning he was a dad during a 2023 interview with Billboard.
However, the journey to fatherhood wasn’t easy for the “Son of a Sinner” musician. Jelly Roll, who also shares son Noah with ex Melissa Ann Cowell, went to court to fight for custody of Bailee. He and Bunnie Xo were ultimately granted custody in 2017 and Bailee has since graduated from high school. (Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo called it quits earlier this month after a decade of marriage.)
"She made me go to court to even see [my daughter],” the singer said in his 2023 documentary Jelly Roll: Save Me. “I barely got to see her in the early years because I was traveling so much. I was a very less-than-present father."
