Sam Hunt (40) was speeding in the US state of Tennessee just over a week ago when he was pulled over by the police .

As TMZ reports, he was taken to prison because he had disregarded his ignition interlock. However, he was released the same day on a bail of around 1440 euros.

A spokesperson later confirmed that the charges against him had been dropped, but that he had received a speeding ticket.

The "Drinkin' Too Much" singer was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol back in 2019. According to a police report at the time, Hunt was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road, changing lanes and crossing the central reservation when officers tried to pull him over.

The 40-year-old also tested positive for alcohol at the time. He pleaded guilty in 2021 and was sentenced to eleven months in prison.

However, this was reduced to a 48-hour stay in a facility that offers training for people who have driven under the influence of alcohol. His driving license was also suspended for one year.

Sam Hunt got his license back after installing an ignition interlock device in his vehicle that measures his breath alcohol content and only then releases the ignition.
