Randy Travis, do you know how to get arrested or what: The country singer, nabbed on suspicion of misdemeanor DWI and more Tuesday night in North Texas, allegedly had elements of nudity, nicotine and more than one 911 call woven into his evening.
On a more serious note, events also included a single-car collision and an alleged threat to shoot and kill his arresting officers, which resulted in Travis being held on a charge of retaliation, a third-degree felony that carries with it up to 10 years behind bars and a $10,000 fine.
Before Travis’ arrest Tuesday night, a convenience store clerk had dialed 911 to report a naked man — a regular customer who regularly wore clothes, according to the Dallas-Forth Worth NBC affiliate — who’d come in seeking cigarettes, then left in frustration when queried about how he would pay for them.
Cut to another 911 call to the Grayson County sheriff’s office a little after 11 p.m. CDT, describing a man lying by the side of a road. Troopers who responded found a Pontiac Trans Am that had been driven off the road and into some construction barricades, as well as 53-year-old Travis, the registered owner of the car, naked, bruised and smelling of alcohol.
The alleged threats to “shoot and kill the officers working the case” came after the DWI arrest, while the singer was being transported, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Additionally, Travis refused to take a blood-alcohol breath test, so blood was drawn later at the hospital.
Travis’ rep had no immediate comment for the Associated Press. The country star was released on $21,500 bail Wednesday morning and was photographed heading for his ride in light blue scrubs, bare feet and a University of Texas ball cap.

Sad to see how far he’s fallen. I hope he can get himself together.
... and he seemed like such a nice boy.
The man’s an artist, living his material. Some good verses could come out of this. Cut him some slack in the interest of his art. /S
why, 'cause they sent it to refinery to make jet fuel out of it?
It might be just me but that looks like the face of a guy who just took a good butt-whuppin from a lefty.
What a shame. I really liked his voice.
Next thing you know we’ll find out he has a blog.
Drunk & naked & arrested just kind of lend themselves to blogging.
When you play a Randy Travis record backwards you get your car back, your clothes back and your sobriety back.
I’m sad to read this; hope Randy can just stop and smell the roses; get straightened out, get some help with the alcohol situation.

The thread from back on Feb 2 this year about his arrest at that time.

Mr Travis is/was scheduled to perform in Tampa at a nonpartisan concert during the RNC Nominating Convention. Now there may be a need for a fill-in. Who will that be, I wonder?
And he is the ONLY one at the drunk,nekked car race that got caught!
This is NOT the Travis who spoke and sang of hard times at my church twice.
I'm praying for this man and his future and pray that he is able to humble himself and seek the help he needs to live a full and abundant life, then share the story of his redemption from alcohol addiction with many others.
Pulling a naked drunk from a wrecked car? Now that’s entertainment!
He's only alive today because the troopers knew he wasn't hiding a weapon.
And it's all my fault
But Baby come back
Before you kill us all.
