Rising country music star Zach Bryan was arrested on Thursday in rural Oklahoma, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
The 27-year-old singer/songwriter was booked into the Craig County Jail in Vinita, Oklahoma, on an obstruction of investigation charge. He was released not long after.
It is unclear what led to his arrest, and a rep for Bryan did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Bryan wrote a lengthy apology addressing his arrest in a social media post on Thursday at 10:30 p.m.
He said an “incident” with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol earlier Thursday caused his emotions to get “the best of [him].” After admitting to his mistake, Bryan reiterated he supports law enforcement “as much as anyone can.”
The “Something in the Orange” singer said that the interaction with law enforcement was unlike him and he was “just frustrated in the moment.”
He finished his statement by saying he’s “just trying the best I can.”

“Prayers we can all move on from this and prayers people know I’m just trying the best I can, I love you guys, and I am truly sorry to the officers,” Bryan concluded.
Prior to his arrest Thursday, Bryan posted a photo of a dog in his passenger seat with the caption, “On the road again, gonna go see the birds win.”
When asked about his dog after his release from jail, Bryan confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, his dog is “perfect” and “fed and snoozing and riding shotgun.”
