Country Singer Sam Hunt Arrested for Speeding, Violating Interlock Device

3:13 PM PT — A rep for Hunt tells TMZ … Sam’s lawyer cleared the paperwork in court this week and there will be no charges. We’re told a speeding ticket was issued and will be paid.

Country music star Sam Hunt was locked up in Henderson County, Tennessee last week … and, cops are claiming he was going way too fast for their liking … TMZ has learned.

According to police records obtained by TMZ, the singer-songwriter was arrested on charges of speeding and violating an interlock device back on January 20. He was released the same day on $1,500 bond.

Hunt was arrested for DUI back in 2019, which may be the reason his vehicle was outfitted with the interlock device — a car breathalyzer that prevents people from drunk driving — in the first place.

Hunt’s a massive country artist … amassing almost 1 billion Spotify streams for his song “Body Like A Back Road,” which came out in 2020.

Sam’s been nominated for five Grammys over the years … though he’s yet to take home the golden trophy.
