Randy Travis Surveillance Footage Sought By Police In DWI Case

Randy Travis Surveillance Footage Sought By Police

Randy Travis allegedly walked into a Tiger Mart convenience store in north Texas last week before being arrested for DWI, and now police want to see the surveillance footage from that store.

Travis reportedly walked into the store and demanded cigarettes but left in frustration shortly afterward, the Los Angeles Times reported. Not long afterward police arrested him by the side of the road, naked, and charged him with DWI.

Authorities presented a search warrant Friday for the store’s entire video surveillance footage, TMZ reported. Apparently there was no one at the store who knew how to work the tape itself.

Randy Travis ended up with a felony charge in addition to his DWI for the incident after allegedly threatening police officers who arrested him. Travis said he would shoot the officers and played celebrity while at the county jail, talking with fans and posing for photographs.

“I was hysterical — I was so excited, telling everybody, ‘I just saw Randy Travis,’ but they didn’t believe me until they saw it on the news,” fan Cassie Kearns told NBC News.

Police had previously released 911 calls that describe a naked Randy Travislying in the middle of the road with no car in sight, the Associated Press reported.

“I just found a guy laying in the road,” the 911 caller said in a recording released by the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office. The called went on to add, “I want to say he had no shirt on, but I don’t know.”

Randy Travis faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000 for the incident.

  1. ever since he divorced libby he has gone down hill and been in trouble. maybe not the smartest move you've ever made.

  2. This is just one more example of never finding real happiness in doing things that you know are wrong. Maybe when he hits rock bottom he will start the climb back to being and feeling right. Tough love is never pleasant but is sometimes necessary.

    From the look of his face, the auto accident may have scrambled his noodle some. Have some consideration for the man. And if drunk when picked up, some drunks are all mouth, and stupid comes from the bottle.

  10. Isn't there a twangy county western song that tells this story?

    Try real, real hard and maybe you can stick with the subject Skeeter!

  14. God???? There is no god!!

  15. Shit happens…You dont like his music, dont listen to it!! Fuck off!!

  16. Shit happens…You dont like his music, dont listen to it!! Fuck off!!

  17. Randy recorded a song "You didn't have a good time" Betcha when he sobers up he will agree with the lyrics. See it on Youtube if you like.

  18. Leave Randy alone. He's human and makes mistakes. He has provided us with years and years of awesome music and his talent on the screen is amazing. He is entitled to his day in court. He's obviously having a tough timer ight now. How about a littles support for him. Hang in there Randy!

  19. amen to that! He is only human.

  20. I'm BEGINNING to think…….Randy is doing this ALL for publicity……His fan-base stardom has died down….so now since so many fans showed up at the jail, begging for photos, and autographs and Randy is Soooooo Obliging……Smiling and Thanking his Fans……..He would rather fight these simple charges with his lawyers as long as it would Bring Attention to Himself and Back into the Limelight that he's been missing for years……..Sad way to make a comeback……Hope he gets the help he needs, if truly, indeed he is on drugs and alcohol.

    The amount of jail time is redicious.We know he has a drinkin problem but possible 10 yrs come on. I agree with the some kind of fine & maybe he should get some help. Randy I like your music but naked what are you thinkin, Does taquila make your clothes fall off man? You are under a microscope but anyway you slice it you have a problem "NAKED". I just cant believe it man. You must have been in the wrong place at got caught & had to run that's the only good explanation I could think of. Your getting to old to be doing this. You need to be more responsible for your actions this ant becoming to anyone especially you with all your fame. This is my pep talk now grow up guit driving too. I'm sorry but I tell it how it looks & that's not good. You can do better… a fan love your music but conduct needs improvement…:(

  22. I like some of his songs.. Just like ever 1 u can have a Bad day. Things go wrong. That Life…

  23. I like to drink but not in my car and naked REALLY

  24. I agree genevieve – I thought Randy was a godly man. Here we are people who are poor – have lots of difficulties in life and we are trying to live a good life and then here is Randy – rich – all kinds of opportunities -even tho he may be having some difficulties he has a better chance than we to make things right.

  29. Free Randy!

  30. He is running around naked

  31. Kelly exactly what did he do? He deserves his day in court before he is persecuted. Yes I am a huge fan but shouldn't he be treated fairly before convicted? Just saying!

  32. Charlotte – He didn't have a shirt on. That's not naked. Of course the media makes it sound like he naked but he didn't have a shirt on. That's not naked.

  33. need to look at the big picture, he needs major rehib,
    so if people as celbs, they are excuseable, from the law, so if we can all use the excuse, for all these school killing, ans etc, that we are just human, but don't woory about good old randy, he will just buy his way out, maybe no car, but sure in hell needs help,
