Dash camera video released in country singer Zach Bryan's arrest

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has released dash camera video from musician Zach Bryan's arrest in Craig County.

In the video, a trooper had pulled over a white SUV. Bryan is seen getting out of a black truck parked next to the SUV. He then walks out of the trooper's sight to the passenger window of the SUV.

The trooper then quickly gets out of the car, asking Bryan what he is doing, to which Bryan responded "Wondering why it's taking so long."

The trooper told Bryan it was "none of his business" and that he needed to get back into his truck. Bryan did not comply. The trooper stated Bryan was interfering with his officer duties, telling him he could either get back in his truck or go to jail. Bryan replied, "I'll go to jail, let's do it."

The trooper then handcuffed Bryan and he was escorted to the front passenger seat of the patrol car.

The trooper spoke with the SUV driver, who confirmed he was Bryan's security guard. "He had no business stopping on this. I was OK with him sitting in the truck but when he gets out, I don’t know who he is," the trooper told the driver.

The trooper went back to his vehicle to finish the traffic stop with the security guard. Bryan kept insisting the handcuffs be removed, adding that "this is why people do not like police officers."

Bryan has since apologized on X, posting in part "Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said."

According to TMZ, the singer-songwriter is facing an obstruction of investigation charge. Further information on his arrest was not provided.
