Jake Owen had himself quite the Cinco de Mayo. The country star was
arrested in his hometown of Vero Beach, Fla., and while it’s not exactly
clear what he did wrong, it likely had something to do with
alcohol. “Whats the big deal about Cinco De Mayo,” he tweeted at one
point in the day. “I’ve been drinking my ass off Everydayo of Mayo.” In
subsequent tweets, the “Alone With You” singer detailed a series of
events that culminated with him in police custody. “I just got arrested
in my hometown,” he tweeted, including a photo of himself in white
shorts with his hands cuffed behind his back.
“I was wearing an old man mask and the sheriff decided to rip me out of
Steak And Shake and embarrass me in front of my family,” he wrote in a
since-deleted Twitter post, Taste of Country reports. “Classic.” He
followed that up with a rant — also erased from his timeline — about
the police. “You give a guy a gun and a badge and he thinks he’s John
Wayne,” Jake wrote, later adding, “I’m calling it a night. My mom cried.
My Dad was embarrassed.”
Overall, we would say it’s been quite the weekend for Jake!
