Bryan, who is from Oologah, about 40 kms northeast of Tulsa, said he also stopped and after 10 to 15 minutes, got out of his vehicle to smoke a cigarette when the officer told him to get back inside the vehicle or be taken to jail.

Bryan said he cursed the officer, who then handcuffed him and placed him in the patrol vehicle.

“I get too lippy with him,” Bryan said. “I'm just mouthing off like an idiot” and the officer was “just doing their job.”

Bryan said he spent “a few hours” at the Craig County jail before being released on bond and that he spoke to the officer and shook hands with him before leaving.

Bryan in an earlier post on X, wrote, he is “truly sorry to the officers” and that he was out of line.

“I don't think that I'm above the law, I was just being disrespectful ... I was just an idiot ... and it won't happen again,” Bryan said in the video. “I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologise.”

A representative for Bryan did not immediately return messages for comment.

Court records do not show formal charges have been filed.

Bryan earned his first number-one album earlier this week. Billboard reports Bryan's self-titled album moved 200,000 units this past week, putting it at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Bryan, in a duet with Kacey Musgraves, currently has the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 with "I Remember Everything". (AP)
