Zach Bryan found himself in trouble with the law on Thursday in northeast Oklahoma, confirming to The Post that he was “out of line in the things I said” during the incident.
The 27-year-old country star was arrested in Vinita and booked on an obstruction of investigation charge at the Craig County Jail at 6:42 p.m., according to online jail records. In his mug shot, his face displayed no emotion.
While the exact circumstances of Bryan’s arrest remain unclear, the Oklahoma native took to social media to acknowledge the incident and express regret for his actions, stating, “Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said. I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize. They brought me to jail, and there is a mug shot of me floating around. Prayers we can all move on from this and prayers people know I’m just trying the best I can, I love you guys and I am truly sorry to the officers.”
The Post reached out to the Craig County sheriff and Bryan’s representatives for further comment on the situation.
TMZ was the first to report the news of Bryan’s arrest.
Notably, Bryan released his self-titled album last month, featuring his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves. The singer-songwriter, originally from Oologah, OK, gained fame by uploading songs to YouTube, with one of his tunes, “Heading South,” going viral. He released his debut album, “DeAnn,” in 2019, followed by “Elisabeth” in 2020 and his first major-label album, “American Heartbreak,” in the previous year. He also made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2021 and received the Academy of Country Music Award for New Male Artist of the Year this year.
Earlier on Thursday, Bryan shared an Instagram Story featuring his dog riding in the passenger seat of a car with the caption, “On the road again, gonna go see the birds win,” possibly alluding to his support for the Philadelphia Eagles.
