Controversy happening right now. It couldn't be worse timing for him
So he was arrested earlier this week by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, but the details around what happened
We don't really know
We know that he posted on Instagram a picture of him
Riding in his truck and pictures of the fields and his dog was by his side
Now he's taken to social media to say I said some things I didn't mean and so okay Chloe girl
What does that mean? What does that mean?
Is there a body cam footage and are we gonna see what was said and what happened? So he takes the social media
He's apologizing profusely
but they charged him with obstruction of justice so or
Obstructing a criminal investigation and so he says in his statement though
I support law enforcement as much as anyone can I was just frustrated in the moment
It was unlike me and I apologize
They brought me to jail and there is a mugshot of me floating around and that is true
But this is something that a lot of people are paying attention to because he is a country music star that is really on the rise
Yeah, I've listened to a lot of his music Chloe

Do we know how the fans are reacting to this so far? So he's getting a lot of support

But again, we don't know exactly what happened and I'm sure that more details will come out and NBC News
We've reached out for further comment
But this is not the first time that he has been in the center of some controversy
He famously kind of went back and forth with country music legend Travis Tritt
When actually he made headlines for a good thing at the time Zach was
defending
Transgender and the LGBTQ community and Travis Tritt had come out kind of against that and so
He's you know made headlines for standing his ground
