A Tennessee sheriff took to social media to announce that country music star Jelly Roll could be seeing a pardon for crimes he committed.

“This was incredible,” he said of the board’s decision, per The Associated Press. “I pray this goes through. But today was special for me, regardless.”

Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall posted Tuesday on X that the state Board of Parole voted to endorse a pardon for the 40-year-old singer, legally known as Jason B. Deford, 40.

The Associated Press reported that the vote was unanimous, with one member recusing.

According to NBC News, the issue is now before Gov. Bill Lee, who can “grant a pardon, grant a commutation erasing Jelly Roll’s criminal record or turn down the request.”

Jelly Roll has said he’s not allowed to vote because of his criminal convictions.

The country music star said he spent most of the time between the ages 14 and 25 in jail, including a stint for robbery.

He revealed on a podcast last month that he sold drugs in his Nashville neighborhood.

According to The AP, his most serious convictions include a robbery at age 17 and drug charges at 23. In the first case, a female acquaintance helped Jelly Roll and two other young men enter a house in 2002. Both of the others were carrying guns, although Jelly Roll was unarmed. They demanded money, and received $350 and a wallet with no money in it. Because the victims knew the female acquaintance, she and Jelly Roll were arrested right away. He was sentenced to serve a year in prison and additional time on probation.
