At the time, TMZ reported that Bryan was booked in Craig County Jail on an obstruction of investigation charge, though the details of the charge were not clear. Following the arrest, Bryan took to Twitter to offer an explanation of the events that took place leading up to his booking.
“Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol,” said Bryan. “Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said.

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.”
