PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA: Meet Carol Tickle, the wife of 'Moonshiners' star Steve Ray Tickle.

Hailing from Chuckey, Tennessee, this dynamic woman wears multiple hats in life.

At around 45 years old, Carol is not only a bail bondswoman but also a realtor at Treck Realty. 

She's the proud owner of Bad Girlz Bail Bonds Llc, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit.

In her journey, Carol has walked down the aisle before, having been previously married.

From this union, she shares the joy of being a mother to her children.

Adding another layer to her life, Carol is also a loving grandmother to three little ones. 

In an interview with Discovery, Steven said, "She completes me. For years, I struggled, I could never find my way. I was in and out of jail. I just couldn’t seem to act right. She gives me a reason to act right. Really a reason to stand up and be the man that I am today."

How did ‘Moonshiners’ star Steven Ray Tickle and Carol Tickle meet?

In the tale of how they crossed paths, Steven shared, "She tracked me down six years ago."

Steven chuckled as he confessed, "She claims she was after another fugitive, but it seemed the only pursuit she was really invested in was me."

There was a playful glint in the reality star's eyes as he recounted the story of how his now-wife went to lengths to find him during his fugitive days.

Love, it seems, had its own adventurous ways of bringing them together.

Why did ‘Moonshiners’ star Steven Ray Tickle go to jail?

In March 2013, Steven faced legal trouble with an arrest for public intoxication.

The plot thickened in 2015 when he found himself in handcuffs again, this time for possessing a sawed-off shotgun.

The verdict came on February 1, 2016, with a three-year suspended penitentiary sentence handed down on March 24, 2016.

However, the legal saga continued as he got arrested once more for a probation violation, resulting in a 5-month sentence on September 15, 2016.

More recently, Tickle, while driving on a suspended license, encountered a car accident.

The judge, considering the entirety of his 18-month probation yet to be completed, decided to sentence him to jail.

However, they don't have children of their own.
