UPDATE: From TMZ –
Randy Travis threatened to shoot and kill the troopers who arrested him for drunk driving last night . When he arrived to the jail, cops gave Travis a shirt to wear for his mug shot … and a paper suit to cover his man parts. Travis is sporting a black eye and cuts in his mug shot — injuries we’re told he suffered when he crashed his car into the construction zone.
According to TMZ, country singer, Randy Travis was arrested last night in Texas on supicion of DWI after crahsing his car. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Randy was arrested around 11:59PM with minor cuts and bruises. He was also booked on a “retaliation and obstruction” charge–a felony–because he verbally threatened a cop during the bust.
Randy’s car was the only vehicle involved in the crash.
To make matters worse, sources are reporting that the singer was “buck naked” when cops arrived to the crash scene. It’s unclear why he was not wearing clothes. Sources also say Randy refused to take a breathalyzer, so a blood draw was taken to determine his blood alcohol level.
It’s his 2nd arrest this year. Back in February, Randy was busted for public intoxication for allegedly “boozing in front of a Baptist church.” According to the police report, Randy said he had just gotten into a fight with his girlfriend.
Randy has ties to the American idol world. Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood, duetted with the star on his hit “I Told You So.” It was a huge country hit for the duo. Carrie also appeared on Randy’s duets album to sing “Is It Still Over”. A tearful Carrie was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry by Randy.
The Idol connection doesn’t end there–Randy famously served as mentor during Season 8’s country week. Who could forget the look on his face when Adam Lambert busted out his unusual take on the Johnny Cash classic, “Ring of Fire”?
