Zach Bryan appears uncooperative with an officer during a traffic stop in newly released police bodycam footage.
The country music singer was stopped in Verdigris, Oklahoma, Sept. 4 for allegedly speeding, just three days before his arrest during a separate traffic stop in Craig County.
In police bodycam video from the Sept. 4 traffic stop, Bryan did not want to give an officer his address because he’s a “famous musician.”
“I’m not really comfortable sharing that,” Bryan told the officer when asked for his address.

The officer asked him a second time, and Bryan still didn’t cooperate.
“I don’t think it’s anyone’s business where I live,” Bryan says. “I’m a famous musician, and I don’t want anyone knowing where I live.”
Bryan was then handcuffed, and the country singer asked to be released or taken to jail.

The officer let him go after giving him a speeding ticket. Per the bodycam footage, Bryan was driving 68 mph in a 50 mph zone.
“Normally, people don’t refuse their information,” the officer told Bryan. “When they start refusing information, I don’t recognize you from Adam. I’m out here on a dark roadway, OK?”
Following Bryan’s incident in Verdigris, he was arrested in Craig County Sept. 7 and again appeared uncooperative with police.

After the arresting officer finished writing up his traffic citation, he inspected Bryan’s handcuffs and noted they didn’t appear tight, but he adjusted them for the musician’s comfort, according to the police report.
Bryan was then taken to jail on an obstruction of investigation charge and released not long after. After his release, Bryan took to X, formerly Twitter, to clarify what happened.

Prayers we can all move on from this and prayers people know I’m just trying the best I can, I love you guys and I am truly sorry to the officers.”
