There's Still No Statement from Randy Travis About His Arrest Tuesday Night.
It seems Randy Travis got a helping hand from a neighbor in the Sherman, Texas, area while in police custody earlier this week. According to TMZ, local lawyer Gary Corley rushed over to the jail once he heard about Travis' arrest to offer the singer his legal services. Travis left the jail wearing a paper suit, a Texas Longhorns hat and no shoes Wednesday. Corley says he offered that hat to Travis from his own head to shield the singer's bruised face from photographers. Corley also claims to have offered Travis a ride, but Travis rode away from the jail in a car driven by the man who posted his $21,500 bond. Travis is charged with DUI and a felony offense of retaliation and obstruction for threatening to shoot and kill his arrest officers Tuesday night. He was discovered lying naked on the road outside the town of Tioga, TX. His 1998 Pontiac Trans Am had veered off the road and hit barricades in a construction zone.
I honestly hope that Randy get the help that he needs. Hopefully, that will be the next person to step forward.

Randy Travis Arrested for DUI, Felony Threats.
For the second time this year, Randy Travis has been arrested for DUI. Sgt. Ricky Wheeler of the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office in Sherman, Texas confirms that state troopers responded to a call at 11:18 p.m. Tuesday night reporting a man lying on the road outside of the town of Tioga. They discovered Travis at the scene with a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath and several signs of intoxication" and arrested him for DUI. On the way to the station, Travis allegedly threatened to shoot and kill the troopers, which resulted in an additional charge of retaliation and obstruction, which is a felony. Sgt. Wheeler also says Travis was brought to the station naked, though it's unclear whether Travis was discovered naked or somehow disrobed later. Travis was booked and held overnight, then released Wednesday after posting a total of $21,500 bond, $20,000 of which was for the felony charge. Travis, 53, was arrested early last February in Sanger, Texas after a police officer discovered him drunk in his car with an open bottle of wine. He later blamed the incident on too much post-Super Bowl celebrating.

Randy Travis Collapsed On Stage Last Sunday . . . But He's Okay.
RANDY TRAVIS collapsed during his performance on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas. Fortunately, several doctors were in the house and able to check him out immediately. Turns out Randy had a serious allergic reaction to some over-the-counter medicines. After shaking it off, he was given the okay to go home. He did not finish the concert. According to reports, Randy was in the middle of performing his song "Three Wooden Crosses" when he suddenly stopped and told the crowd, quote, "My vocal chords are giving out on me."
The band continued to play, but when he tried to join in on the chorus, he stumbled forward and fell. That's when the doctors hit the stage to check him out. After a few minutes Randy got up, gave a thumbs up, and then left the venue. Here's the official statement, quote, "Mr. Travis was overcome by a combination of dehydration, over-the-counter allergy medications, and caffeine use. This, combined with the heat of the stage lights, caused him to pass out." Randy is currently "resting comfortably at home" and he expects to honor all of his tour dates.
