He has since bonded out of jail,according to a local news outlet.
“Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
They brought me to jail, and there is a mug shot of me floating around.
The Craig County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment on the incident.
On Thursday, Bryan claims it was his bodyguard who got pulled over.
When the situation dragged on, Bryan says he got out of his car to smoke a cigarette.
He alleges that that’s when this officer threatened to take him to jail.
Bryan, though, blames himself for what happened next.
“Like a dumbass, I said, ‘Take me to f—ing jail?
What do you mean?'”
“I get too lippy with him, he brings me over to his car.
I just didn’t help my situation at all.
I felt like a child.
I was just being disrespectful and I shouldn’t have been.
It was my mistake.”
This officer also allegedly handcuffed Bryan.
Bryan’s eponymous new album was released on Aug. 25.
