Travis arrested for drinking
The singer blamed his drinking on a post Super Bowl celebration.
"I apologize for what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl," Travis said in a statement provided to TheWrap. "I'm committed to being responsible and accountable and apologize for my actions."
TMZ reported that Travis was arrested in Sanger, Texas in front of a Baptist Church. The police department said they received a call of a suspicious vehicle near the church. Police found the singer with an open bottle of wine, according to TMZ. The officer apparently was told by Travis that he had a fight with his girlfriend. TMZ quoted the officer as saying, ""Mr. Travis' speech was slurred and I was beginning to have a hard time understanding what he was saying." He was arrested, cited and released shortly after being taken to the jail at 1:30 a.m.
