Grammy-nominated Country music star Sam Hunt was arrested in Henderson County
Sam Hunt’s booking photo was just released and the dude looks none too happy to be in police custody — as fresh details surfaced following his Tennessee arrest.
According to a booking report from the Henderson County Sherriff’s Office, Hunt was pulled over for speeding while travelling in the westbound lane of Interstate 40.
The traffic stop was made by a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer shortly before 4:45 p.m.
Records show that Hunt was travelling at 85 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone, while operating a 2022 Ford F250.
An affidavit shows that upon a driver’s license status check, it was revealed that Hunt was required to have a functioning ignition interlock device, which the vehicle he was driving did not have.
Hunt was then arrested and transported to the Henderson County jail.
According to records, Hunt was issued a $1,500 bond, which he was released on just after 6 p.m.
Several media outlets report that Hunt’s lawyer cleared the paperwork in court this week, and the star will not face charges beyond a speeding ticket.
