Singer Randy Travis was arrested on a charge of suspicion of public intoxication early Monday morning in Texas. Following his release, he issued a statement to the Associated Press where he expressed his sincerest apologies for “what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl,” assuring that he’s “committed to being responsible and accountable” in the future.

Tom Reedy of the Denton Country Sheriffs Department explained the incident to reporters.

“A report of a suspicious vehicle was called in to Sanger police,” said Reedy. “Police go to investigate and find him smelling like alcohol and [he] had an open bottle of wine. He was arrested in front of a Sanger Baptist Church.”

After spending six hours in jail sobering up, Travis was released with a Class C misdemeanor added to his record.
