Darius Rucker is likely singing a very sad tune at the moment.<\/p>\n
The former Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer was arrested on Thursday on a trio of misdemeanor drug charges, according to TMZ and other entertainment news outlets.<\/p>\n
Rucker \u2014 who has established himself over recent years as a very successful country artist \u2014 was taken into custody yesterday in Williamson County, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Darius Rucker is seen in a police booking photo after being arrested on misdemeanor drug charges on February 01, 2024 in Williamson County, Tennessee.

The latter charge amounts to the musician having expired tags on his car.<\/p>\n
By the sound of this summation, Rucker was pulled over for this reason and the police then found marijuana in his vehicle during what they believed to be a routine traffic stop.<\/p>\n

His attorney, Mark Puryear, told TMZ shortly afterward:<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. I\u2019ve heard. All I can say is Karma,\u201d Quigley wrote about her former partner, later sharing a bikini-themed selfie that also featured a wink at the camera as she added:<\/p>\n
Mood when u hear your d-bag ex got arrested. #Karma<\/strong><\/p>\nRucker himself has not yet spoken out \u2014 on either the arrest or the rather extreme shade just hurled in his direction by Quigley.<\/p>\n
The couple dated for less than a year in 2020 after the Hootie and the Blowfish frontman and his estranged wife, Beth, announced they were splitting up after two decades of marriage.<\/p>\n
The comedian also jumped on social media when the singer told reporters that his ex was \u201cdoing great\u201d after an accidental group overdose that killed three of her friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Darius, Could u plz refrain from making public comments about my health or well-being since u haven\u2019t called once to see how i\u2019m doing & have no clue?\u201d she wrote in September 2021. <\/p>\n
\u201cThanks Boo Boo!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
