Oh dear. Sam Hunt was arrested early this morning for DUI.
From Taste of Country:
The country singer was pulled over after police responded to a report that a vehicle was going the wrong way in East Nashville. Nashville's WKRN-TV reports that an officer on the scene said Hunt smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and tried to give his credit card when pressed for a driver's license.
An arrest warrant also shares that his blood alcohol level was .173. The legal limit in Tennessee is .08.
The arrest record showed Hunt had two open cans of beer in the vehicle, and he had admitted to drinking "recently." Hunt was released on bond, and has a court appearance in January.
I honestly never expected to see an arrest photo of Sam Hunt, but hey... everyone screws up sometimes. I'm just glad no one was hurt, and no property was damaged.
I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everyone never to drink and drive! Use a ride share or call a friend; it's cheaper than a DUI, and will spare you the embarrassment of people sharing your mugshot on the internet!
