[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Randy Travis[/lastfm] did what a lot of us did last night, a little too much alcohol. But Randy ended up with a mug shot and an arrest for public intoxication outside a North Texas church. According to the Associated Press, Denton County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Reedy says police in the town of Sanger arrested Travis early Monday after spotting a vehicle parked in front of a church and finding an open bottle of wine and Travis smelling of alcohol.
Reedy says Travis was brought to the Denton County jail about 1:30 a.m. and released six hours later.
The singer, who lives in the small town of Tioga near Sanger, apologized in a statement to The Associated Press “for what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl.”
Travis, who launches a concert tour Friday, says he’s “committed to being responsible and accountable.” I’m not in the least condoning Driving Under the Influence, but how many folks wandered out of Scottsdale bars, hopped on the busiest freeway, like the 101 Pima, and played chicken with the sober folks? Randy’s busted for being famous.
