Dolly Parton’s nephew Bryan Seaver was allegedly involved in an altercation with the police on the day the musician died.

According to court docs obtained by Page Six, She’s Alive, LLC — the company overseeing the “9 to 5” singer’s estate — requested “a copy of all body-worn camera video footage for all officers present” at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee, on Aug. 24 and Aug. 25.

She’s Alive claimed the cameras will have footage of Seaver’s alleged “altercation with police personnel.”

Sources close to Seaver told TMZ that he was not cited by authorities and that he only showed up to the medical center where his famous aunt passed away to coordinate the logistics of transporting her body to the funeral home.

The outlet was told there was no altercation — only a “simple discussion.”

An insider told the outlet that police allegedly acted like Seaver was a “fugitive” when he arrived at the hospital.

Seaver is set to appear in court on Dec. 2.

Page Six has reached out to Seaver for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Parton passed away on Aug. 25 after a secret battle with cancer. She was 80.

Less than a month after her death, the “Jolene” singer’s estate fired Seaver from his position as head of security.

A Tennessee judge then granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Seaver and his security company, ordering them to stay 1,000 feet away from Parton’s offices in Nashville and from interfering with her business.

Earlier this month, Seaver asked the judge to delay the restraining order hearing so he could have more time to retain counsel.

Page Six exclusively reported that She’s Alive, LLC filed a lawsuit against Seaver, accusing him of intimidating and harassing staffers at Parton’s Nashville hotel and museum.

However, Seaver claimed the messages were taken out of context, insisting they were private exchanges with a longtime friend about a business dispute.
