Country star Randy Travis charged with DWI in Texas
DALLAS (AP) — Randy Travis was charged with driving while intoxicated after the country singer crashed his car and was found naked and combative at the scene, officials said.
It was the second arrest this year for Travis, who was cited in February for public intoxication.
A Pontiac Trans Am registered to Travis, 53, had driven off a road west of Tioga around midnight Tuesday, said Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Travis refused sobriety tests, Vinger said, so a blood specimen was taken. The test results are pending.
Travis was released on $21,500 bond this morning pending an appearance before a judge in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas.
Vinger said Travis made threats against Texas Highway Patrol troopers and was not wearing clothes at the time of his arrest. Grayson County Sheriff's Sgt. Rickey Wheeler said Travis also faces a charge of retaliation or obstruction.
