Darius Rucker Arrested on Drug Charges

Rucker faces charges of simple possession, casual exchange, and violation of registration law

Darius Rucker was arrested on Thursday on drug charges in Williamson County, Tennessee, according to multiple reports. The country singer was released on a $10,500 bond on the same day.

Rucker faces charges of simple possession, casual exchange, and violation of registration law.

“Darius Rucker is fully cooperating with authorities related to misdemeanor charges,” Rucker’s attorney, Mark Puryear, said in a statement to local outlet WSMV. A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

Rucker is set to hit the road with Hootie & the Blowfish this summer on the band’s Summer Camp With Trucks tour, starting May 30 in Dallas, Texas. The trek, which includes fellow band members Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, will mark the Hootie & the Blowfish’s first full tour since 2019.

Rucker received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December, where his bandmates joined him. “This is stuff you don’t even dream about when you’re from South Carolina,” Rucker said while accepting the honor. “You know, struggling, growing up, and just wanting to be a singer — that’s all I ever wanted to be was a singer. But you never dream that this stuff is going to happen…To be here, right here with a star on the Walk of Fame, I said over there, it’s the biggest thing that’s happened to me.”

And in April, Rucker made an appearance at the CMT Music Awards to help honor the influence the 1990s pop environment has had on today’s country music.
