Darius Rucker’s mugshot released after he’s arrested on drug charges in Tennessee

Country star Darius Rucker was arrested in Tennessee on Thursday on minor drug offenses.

A spokesperson for the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee confirmed to The Post that Rucker, 57, was booked on three separate charges Thursday

The Hootie & the Blowfish member was charged with two counts of simple possession/casual exchange of a controlled substance and one count of a violation of the state’s vehicle registration law, according to the outlet.

In layman’s terms, Rucker was allegedly involved in a drug handoff and law enforcement claim his tags were expired.

He appeared emotionless in his mugshot.

His lawyer told The Post in a statement Thursday, “Darius Rucker is fully cooperating with authorities related to misdemeanor charges.”

The “Wagon Wheel” singer was released on a $10,500 bond.

In a 2021 TikTok, Rucker reflected on the time he nearly got arrested with fellow country act Rascal Flatts.

“There’s never a boring time on the road with Rascal Flatts!” he captioned the clip.

“We’re getting pulled over in the golf cart, the cop wants to arrest us,” he explained in the video. “And, the funniest thing about the whole thing is the cop stops us, and me and Joe Don did the old ’pretend that we’re not there’ thing.

“We just got out of the golf cart and started walking back, and we were leaving Gary right there. He was going to jail by himself, we were out of there,” he added.

“But, obviously none of us went to jail, our security came over and got us,” he said in conclusion. “But, that was one of the few nights of my life I thought I was going to jail.”
