Fans love Zach Bryan’s mugshot and vow to print it on T-shirts after the 27-year-old country star was jailed for clashing with street cops: ‘It makes me love him even more’

Fans have been clamoring to ask about country singer Zach Bryan after his mugshot was released following his arrest for a collision with highway patrol in Vinita, Oklahoma, on Thursday.

The 27-year-old artist was being held in the Craig County Jail on a charge of obstructing an investigation and tweeted Thursday that he “had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.” “The emotions overwhelmed me and I made a mistake with the things I said.”

He said at the time: “I support law enforcement as much as I can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was different from me and I apologize.” They took me to prison and there’s a mugshot of me in it floating around.”

Since then, several reports have emerged claiming to offer the mugshot printed on T-shirts as unofficial merchandise. Users said the singer’s arrest made him “more attractive.”

One even went so far as to write, “I know I’m toxic because Zach Bryan’s mugshot makes me love him even more.”

The Something in the Orange artist has posted a few more tweets since addressing the incident.

He said he was traveling to watch his favorite football team, the Philadelphia Eagles, play their season opener against the New England Patriots in Massachusetts on Sunday.

When a fan asked him how his dog was doing after the incident, Bryan said the dog was “perfect” as he was “fed, snoozing and riding shotgun.”

He also wrote: “Still fucking highway driving across the country, the old sons letting go.”

Users generally expressed support for Bryan despite the confrontation.

One said: “We still love you and are here to support you. Nobody is perfect and things happen.” “You’re human, just like the rest of us!” Stay true, Okie, son!’

Another wrote: ‘We live. We learn. We continue.’

Within hours, fans began talking about the now widely shared mugshot, which shows Bryan wearing a blue shirt and sporting a mustache.
