Gavin Adcock can likely use a cigarette right about now.
The rising country star, 26, was arrested in Tennessee for reckless driving and violation of open container laws on Wednesday, May 21, The Post confirmed.
Adcock — known for hits like “Deep End,” “Ain’t No Cure,” and “A Cigarette” — was taken into custody by the Tennessee Highway Patrol in Oconee, Tenn., and booked at 11:15 p.m., the online jail record shows.
The singer’s bond was set at $1,000 for the reckless driving charge, and he’s already been released.
Adcock spent roughly five hours in jail, with online records showing he was released from custody at 4:34 a.m. on Thursday, May 22.
The star’s mugshot obtained by The Post shows him cheesing it up with a huge smile despite the arrest.
Adcock is currently on tour, with his next show set to take place on Saturday, May 24, at the Choctaw Casino in Grant, Oklahoma.
His last stop on his “Need to Tour” before his arrest was The Pinnacle in Nashville, where he performed two sold-out nights on Friday, May 17, and Saturday, May 18, per Music Row.
No other details about his arrest were available.
The Post reached out to Adcock and the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The “On One” singer has not addressed the arrest publicly, but hours before getting locked up, he posted a gym selfie on his Instagram Stories Wednesday afternoon.
“Back on my gym s–t sweatin out demons,” he wrote as the caption.
This isn’t the first time the Georgia native has had a run-in with law enforcement, reported country magazine Holler.
Adcock was reportedly arrested for a suspended license at one point and discussed it on social media in June 2023.
“Went to jail one time because of a suspended license, sat in there for 10 hours and made friends with my cell mates,” the singer allegedly wrote on X.
Adcock is no doubt one of country music’s most unpredictable rising acts, with his rowdy anthems like “Actin’ Up Again” and “Past Actions” to his heartfelt singles like “Sober” and “My Dear My Darlin.”
During his shows in Nashville, the hitmaker reportedly appeared on the stage with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand, according to Music Row, which also noted that cups of beer were flying through the air by excited fans.
Adcock even brought out country star Tracy Lawrence as a surprise guest, and the two sang a duet of “Time Marches On,” which allegedly sent the crowd into a frenzy.
