Country Singer Morrow Charged With DWI

Published January 13, 2015

Country singer Cory Morrow (search) was charged with drug possession and driving while intoxicated after police said they found cocaine in a car he was driving.

Morrow, an Austin resident and favorite with the Texas college crowd, was stopped early Saturday morning after he didn't signal a turn, according to a police affidavit.

The officer reported that Morrow's breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot. Morrow was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, and a plastic bag in the car contained one-third of a gram of cocaine, the affidavit said.

Morrow, 32, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony with a maximum penalty of two years in state jail. He also was charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor that carries a jail term of up to 180 days.

He was released from jail on $4,000 bail.

Tour manager Dave Lytle didn't immediately return a message left Thursday by The Associated Press.

Morrow, a Houston native, has released six albums, including "Songs We Wish We'd Written" (search), a collaboration with friend Pat Green.
