Country Singer Marty Stuart Charged With DUI

Published January 14, 2015

Country singer Marty Stuart (search) was charged Wednesday with driving under the influence of alcohol, police said.

Dispatcher Jennifer Grant said police received a call about an accident without injuries in the parking lot of a McDonald's that possibly involved alcohol. When officers arrived, they took Stuart to jail, she said.

A jail official said Stuart was charged Wednesday evening with first-offense DUI and released on $1,500 bail.

Calls to Stuart's management company were not immediately returned.

Stuart was charged with drunken driving in April 2002 after police got a tip he was intoxicated at a store. The charge was dismissed when a judge ruled there was not enough probable cause to stop his car, but Stuart lost his driver's license for a year for refusing to take a blood-alcohol test.

Stuart, 45, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry (search). His hits include "Tempted" and "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'," a duet with Travis Tritt.
