Country star Randy Travis was arrested in Tioga, Texas, last week after crashing his car while drunk and naked, said CBSNews.com. The troubled singer was reportedly “combative” with state troopers, threatening to shoot and kill them if they didn’t let him go. He was later charged with driving while intoxicated and a felony count of retaliation. Travis, who was previously arrested for public intoxication in February, is locked in a bitter legal battle with his ex-wife, Elizabeth, who was his manager.
