Randy Travis Charged with DWI

SHERMAN, TEXAS — Tests show that country music star Randy Travis was legally drunk when he was arrested naked following a traffic accident in Texas and he has been formally charged with driving while intoxicated.

According to Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown, Travis had a blood alcohol level in excess of 0.15, nearly double the state's legal limit for driving of 0.08. This is a Class A misdemeanor and punishable by up to a $4,000 fine and two years in jail.

Travis was arrested on a DWI charge and freed on bond following a single-vehicle accident near Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas, in August 7. Travis also faces a retaliation charge for allegedly threatening officers. Brown said his office is involved in negotiations to settle the case.
