Zach Bryan mouthed off to police before his arrest on Thursday, according to a video obtained by TMZ. The country star was booked on an obstruction of investigation charge.
Zach Bryan tried to talk his way out of jail before his arrest on Thursday.
According to dash camera footage obtained by TMZ, the country crooner got himself into hot water with one police officer after he admittedly got a bit too “lippy” inside the cop car.
In the video, Bryan can be seen driving into a parking lot to try and help his security guard, who had just been pulled over for speeding.
As soon as the “Something in the Orange” singer got out of his truck, the responding officer told him to get back in his vehicle or face the consequences.
“I’m wondering why it’s taking so long,” Bryan asked the cop, who told him to “either get back in [his] truck or go to jail.”
“I’ll go to jail, let’s do it,” Bryan quipped back daringly.
The officer accepted the challenge and immediately placed Bryan in handcuffs as the 27-year-old started to backtrack.
“This is the second time this has happened in three days,” he tried to explain. “This is my security guard. I was just waiting for him and it was taking a long time. I was just curious, sir, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to be an a—hole.”
“I was being a smarta— and I shouldn’t have been. I apologize.”
However, once Bryan was placed inside the cop car, he grew irritated and asked the officer to remove his “insanely uncomfortable” handcuffs.
