Country music star Gretchen Wilson was arrested Tuesday night.<\/b>
\nOfficers who were dispatched to the scene said while interviewing Wilson on the jetway, \u00ab\u00a0she became belligerent towards the Troopers, and caused a disturbance,\u00a0\u00bb according to Connecticut State Police.
American Airlines media relations said in a statement to CNN, \u00ab\u00a0Two passengers were in an altercation on the flight. American contacted law enforcement to meet the aircraft upon arrival in Harford(sic).\u00a0\u00bb
They did not specify if Wilson was one of the passengers.
When contacted by CNN, Wilson’s attorney, Rob Britt, declined to comment.
Wilson made her country music debut in 2004 with the hit single, \u00ab\u00a0Redneck Woman\u00a0\u00bb off her album \u00ab\u00a0Here for the Party.\u00a0\u00bb She won a Grammy Award for the song in 2005.
Her following album, \u00ab\u00a0All Jacked Up,\u00a0\u00bb became the highest ever debut by a female artists on the country charts at the time — a record that has since been broken by Carrie Underwood.
Wilson has been open about the setbacks she faced on her way to stardom. At the age of 15, she quit school to become a bartender but eventually moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. In 2008, she made headlines for going back to school to get her GED.
\u00ab\u00a0I had big dreams like most local musicians do, but the chances of this having happened for me were slim to none,\u00a0\u00bb she said in an interview at the time. \u00ab\u00a0Without [an] education, I’d have been pouring drinks for the rest of my life.\u00a0\u00bb
Wilson is scheduled to perform at the Mohegan Sun resort in Connecticut Wednesday night. A spokesperson for the resort told CNN the show will continue as planned.
CNN has contacted Wilson’s representative for comment.
