Country Music Star Gavin Adcock Arrested in Tennessee

A country music star was arrested on Wednesday in Tennessee on charges of reckless driving and violation of open container laws.

According to The Tennessean, which cited a police report, 26-year-old Gavin Adcock was arrested early on Wednesday morning after he was pulled over on the Interstate.

"As confirmed by The Tennessean, the underground-to-mainstream-favored Georgia native was arrested May 21 by the Tennessee Highway Patrol after being pulled over on Interstate 40 at mile marker 229 in Wilson County. He was charged with reckless driving and having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle, and he posted a $1,000 bond and was released around 4:34 a.m. on May 22, according to the Wilson County Sheriff's Office," Marcus K. Dowling and Craig Shoup reported for The Tennessean this week.

The arrest came just a few days after Adcock sold out Nashville's The Pinnacle on back-to-back nights, highlighting his recent rise from a relatively unknown underground country artist to a mainstream star.

Adcock is one of the rising stars in country music, recently passing 1 billion total streams on Spotify thanks in large part to his hit songs “Deep End,” "A Cigarette," and “Ain’t No Cure.”

Despite the arrest, The Tennessean reports that Adcock is still planning to continue his “Need To” tour in Grant, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
