A representative for the Tennessee Highway Patrol confirmed the incident to local news outlet WTVF, stating, “We can confirm that Jamey Johnson was arrested on Sunday, Nov. 17 in Williamson County. The incident is still under investigation.”

Johnson’s most recent release, Midnight Gasoline, debuted on November 8 under the Warner Nashville label, just days before his legal troubles surfaced. The album marks his return to the spotlight and showcases his signature blend of storytelling and authentic country music.
As the case develops, Johnson’s fans and the music community await further details, while his future in the industry may hinge on the legal outcome.
