Zach Bryan was arrested in Oklahoma for obstruction of a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop involving his security guard. The incident occurred when Bryan's security guard was pulled over for speeding. Bryan arrived at the scene in his pickup truck, got out, and approached the trooper. When the officer told him to get back in his truck, Bryan refused and said, "I'll go to jail, let's do it," leading to his arrest. During the encounter, Bryan was handcuffed and made comments criticizing the police, which were documented in the police report. He later apologized publicly, admitting he was "an idiot" and took responsibility for his actions, explaining that emotions got the best of him and he was being disrespectful
. Bryan also mentioned that this was the second run-in with law enforcement within a few days, the first involving a speeding stop where he was handcuffed briefly for initially refusing to give his address but was ultimately let off with a warning
. The charge was obstruction of an investigation, and after completing a six- month deferred prosecution agreement, the case against him was closed with no further charges
