Chris Cagle, Country Music Star, Arrested for Domestic Abuse

Chris Cagle, the renowned country music singer, was arrested Wednesday for domestic domestic assault in Nashville after he and his girlfriend got into a drunken fight.

Cagle and his girlfriend, Jennifer Tant, have been jailed on misdemeanor domestic assault charges.

He and Tant visited Players Inn, a bar located west of Nashville in the Bellevue community. Police reports indicate the couple got into a verbal dispute after leaving the bar and that the disagreement escalated into a physical altercation once they arrived at Cagle's home.

According to a police affidavit, Cagle had a bump on his head caused by Tant hitting him with an umbrella, and Taut had a scrape on her lip and a sore arm from Cagle hitting her with her purse.

The Davidson County Sheriff's Department says there is a mandatory 12-hour stay in jail before Cagle and Tant can post $1,500 bonds.

At the time of his arrest, Cagle already faced trial on a misdemeanor assault charge in connection with an altercation on Dec. 13 outside a nightclub in Tucson, Ariz.
