Country music star reveals why he got arrested in Tennessee, releases song as result
Gavin Adcock was arrested last month in Tennessee for going on what he described as a joy ride, he revealed recently on social media.
The country music star was arrested for reckless driving and violation of open container laws.
“I bought my dream car, a 1973 Dodge Challenger,” Adcock shared on X. “Over the past few months, I’ve been putting money into it, getting it running as good as new, and decided I wanted to take it for a joy ride. The car ran great.
“I got pulled over and arrested for reckless driving going 103 in Wilson County, Tenn.”
Adcock, known for songs like “Deep End” and “Ain’t No Cure,” inspired by the incident, released a song called, “Morning Bail,” as a result of his arrest.
The Georgia native posted a $1,000 bond and was released around 4:34 a.m. on May 22 after his arrest.
