The mugshot seen across the world…
News of Zach Bryan’s arrest shocked country music fans, but the dash cam footage of the arrest will give fans a look at the whole story.
The news was made public late yesterday, and according to the Craig County Sheriff’s Office records, Zach was booked yesterday afternoon in Vinita, Oklahoma at 6:42PM. The country music star was booked on an “obstruction of investigation” charge and then was released on bond.
Bryan put out an apology this morning, saying that he let the emotions get the best of him, and that is certainly true based on the dash cam footage.
Zach can be seen pulling up in his black truck next to the white car that his security guard was driving was pulled over, prompting the officer to come up to him and say that he needs to get back into his truck or else he could be charged with interference.
Bryan clearly doesn’t think the officer will do so and challenges him:
“I’ll go to jail, let’s do it.”
Which then prompts the officer to tell him to turn around so that he can cuff Zach and put him the front seat of his car. The country star gets pretty apologetic, pretty quickly.
Once cuffed and in the car, things really start to get heated as Zach gets increasingly frustrated with the police. Bryan at one point even tells the officer:
“I’ll get back in my truck right now if you let me out of these handcuffs. If you don’t, it is going to be a mistake sir. I promise. I know every sheriff in Tulsa, I let 40 of them go to my show.
I know you don’t give a f*ck but this is insane. This is the second time this has happened in three days. These f**king cops are out of control.”
The officer also asked Bryan’s security guard why Bryan was so “irate,” and according to the police report, he said:
“He is a musician and that he was under a lot of stress and pressure.”
The full dash cam video can be seen below:
As stated earlier, Bryan was eventually arrested and taken, but was later released on bond.
The full police report can be read below:
Zach released an apology, as well as video detailing what happened.
He also elaborated further in a Tweet:
“To be clear in the video I posted, I’m not trying to save face or act like the good guy, I was a complete spoiled asshole to these police officers and I’ll spend the next few weeks trying my best to right my wrongs and take back what I said.
I do respect police officers and I made a massive mistake. I am embarrassed for myself, my family and the people I love but all I can do now in sincerely apologize.”
Zach Bryan Breaks George Strait’s Attendance Record With Two-Night Run At Tulsa BOK Center
Zach Bryan just keeps breaking records.
He recently played two nights at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And with Zach being an Oolagah, Oklahoma native himself, you knew people were going to show up.
The back-to-back sold out shows drew in a combined 37,000 fans, breaking the arena’s record for the highest attendance total for two nights by a single artist set by the King back in 2018.
But that’s not the only venue record that Zach broke while he was in his home state.
According to the BOK Center, the Friday night show also broke the record for the highest food and beverage sales in a single show, which had been set by Eric Church. But that record didn’t stand for very long, because Zach turned around and broke his own record the very next night.
And he did the same thing with merch sales, breaking the record set by Metallica for the highest grossing single night of merchandise sales by a single artist on Friday night before setting another record on Saturday.
Pretty incredible.
The BOK Center released a statement on the record-breaking two night run:
“With two consecutive back-to-back concerts August 11 & 12 that left fans exhilarated and craving for more, Bryan has solidified his status as an iconic live performer.”
I’d say that’s an understatement at this point.
