Sam Hunt has gone public over his DUI Thursday, saying he made some really bad choices.
The country star just said, “Thursday night I decided to drive myself home after drinking at a friend’s show in downtown Nashville. It was a poor and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone who was unknowingly put at risk and let down by it. It won’t happen again.”
Truth be told, it wasn’t Thursday night … it was Thursday at 6 AM. Hunt was in a bar Wednesday night partying with some folks, but the bars close at 2 AM. Cops saw Sam swerving and driving down the wrong side of the road at 6 AM, pulled him over and noticed he reeked of alcohol.
He was clearly wasted … police asked for his driver’s license, which was in his lap, but instead he gave them a credit card and his passport. He did poorly on the field sobriety test and blew a .173 … way over the legal limit.
Sam was arrested, booked and released. He’s already been charged with DUI.
