In April 2008, the New York Daily News reported a possible long-term relationship between McCready and baseball star Roger Clemens that began when she was 15.[30] Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin denied the affair, stating that Clemens would bring a defamation suit regarding this false allegation. Clemens' attorney admitted that a relationship existed but described McCready as a "close family friend". He also stated that McCready had traveled on Clemens' personal jet and that Clemens' wife was aware of the relationship.[30] Clemens issued a statement saying only, "I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry."[31] McCready described the relationship as being sexual in nature.[32]

She was also charged with not reporting to her probation officer during July.[39] She was finally arrested in Florida and returned to Tennessee. She faced a hearing later that year on charges of violating her probation on a drug charge by failing to check in with her probation officer and leaving the state without permission to go to Florida.[40]

In July 2007, McCready was arrested in her hometown of Fort Myers, Florida, and charged with battery and resisting arrest for an apparent scuffle with her mother.[41] The following week, she was taken into custody at the Nashville International Airport for violating probation.[42] In September, McCready was sentenced to a year in jail for violating probation.
