7:54 AM PT -- Sources tell TMZ ... Travis was BUCK NAKED when cops arrived to the crash scene. It's unclear why Travis was not wearing clothes.
We're also told the country singer refused to take a breathalyzer, so a blood draw was taken to determine his blood alcohol level.
6:24 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us ... Travis was charged with "retaliation" because he verbally threatened a cop during the bust.
0314_divider_graphic Country singer Randy Travis was arrested last night in Texas on suspicion of DWI after crashing his car, TMZ has learned.
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.
Randy's car was the only vehicle involved in the crash.
Other details surrounding Randy's arrest are unclear. Randy is still in custody.
It's the singer's 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.
But Joe Piscopo could be arrested and it wouldn't make the papers.
For all we know he could be serving a life sentence somewhere.
Yeah, "But on the other hand..."
No. The term is "buck naked." "Butt naked" is a modern corruption of the phrase.
OK, but not nearly as bad as the corruption of calling socialist tyrants "liberals" (lovers of liberty).
Well, who among us hasn’t done the exact same thing? ......
Best. Mugshot. Ever.

Heard him in concert at Humphries years ago in San Diego and tears just poured from my eyes the whole time. Couldn’t help it. What a powerhouse.
He came onstage and is very short, but tells about the time an elderly woman met him once and said “I’m so glad to meetcha, but where’s the rest of ya?”
Self-deprecating to the max.
Can’t we all get a Long Island Iced Tea?
For those who are not country fans, Randy Travis was about as good as it got in the mid to late 1980s (just before Garth & Co. came on the scene). He racked up something like a dozen number one hits in a four year period and up until a few years ago was putting out gospel albums. He had his last number one hits back in 2003 with "Three Wooden Crosses" (a gospel song) which was one of the biggest country hits of that year.
He always did have a wild side to him. He was a juvenile delinquent who shacked up with a woman 16 years older than him (she became his manager). They were divorced a couple years ago and evidently that was when he became unhinged yet again.
Thanks for these gems.
