Country star Zach Bryan arrested in Oklahoma days after scoring first No. 1 album: ‘I was out of line’
Zach Bryan was arrested Thursday in northeast Oklahoma, The Post can confirm — and the country star admitted he was “out of line in the things I said.”
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.
His face is expressionless in his mug shot.
It is unclear what led to Bryan’s arrest, but the Sooner State native said his “emotions got the best of me” in a statement posted on social media.
“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,” he wrote.
“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,” he continued.
“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 has contacted the Craig County sheriff and reps for Bryan for comment.
TMZ was the first to report the news of his arrest.
Bryan released his self-titled album last month, which includes his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves.
The singer-songwriter, who hails from Oologah, OK, got his big break uploading songs to YouTube.
One tune, “Heading South,” about his time serving in the US Navy, eventually went viral.
His debut album, “DeAnn,” was released in 2019. “Elisabeth” dropped in 2020.
He released his first major-label album, “American Heartbreak,” last year.
He 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.
Bryan posted a picture to his Instagram Story earlier Thursday of his dog riding in the passenger seat of a car.
“On the road again, gonna go dee the birds win,” he wrote, perhaps referencing the Philadelphia Eagles, a team he roots for.
The Eagles play their season opener against the New England Patriots in Massachusetts on Sunday.
