Country singer Sam Hunt was arrested after speeding on a Tennessee highway and violating the terms of his past DUI.
According to TMZ, the “Cop Car” musician was pulled over on Jan. 20 in Hendersonville — about 22 miles north of Nashville — on charges of speeding and violating an interlock device, best known as a car breathalyzer.
He was taken to jail but released the same day on $1,500 bond.
Hunt’s rep told the outlet that the charges against the hitmaker were cleared, though he still received a speeding ticket.
His reps weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The “Drinkin’ Too Much” singer, 40, was previously arrested in Nashville for driving under the influence with an open container in 2019.
Per a police report obtained by Page Six at the time, Hunt was allegedly driving down the wrong side of the road, swerving in and out of lanes and crossing the center divider when the cops pulled him over.
The responding officers also claimed that the “23” singer’s eyes were bloodshot and he smelled of alcohol.
Hunt agreed to a breathalyzer test and blew a .173, which is double the legal limit.
According to the Tennessean, the Georgia-born musician appeared in court in 2021 and pleaded guilty to the charges.
He was sentenced to more than 11 months in prison but it was later reduced to 48 hours at the DUI Education Center.
Hunt’s driver’s license was also suspended for one year.
He got his license reinstated by installing an interlock device to measure his breath alcohol content, which starts the vehicle’s ignition.
Hunt is married to Hannah Lee Fowler, whom he wed in April 2017. They share kids Lucy Louise, 2, and Lowry Lee, 1.
In the past, the couple’s relationship has been rocky, with Fowler filing for divorce in 2022 before withdrawing the request months later.
