Country music star Zach Bryan has been cleared in his ongoing case stemming from his arrest in Oklahoma last year.
Michelle Lowry, a spokesperson for the Craig County branch of Oklahoma District Attorney’s Office, told TMZ Thursday that Bryan, 28, has fulfilled agreements he made with officials in the wake of his September 2023 arrest by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The Grammy-winning artist fulfilled the agreements of a deal with prosecutors he made in May, saying he would avoid any legal entanglements for a six-month timeframe beginning this past May, with Thursday as the deadline.
Bryan – who has made headlines as of late for his acrimonious October split with Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna Chickenfry, 25 – has ‘stayed out of trouble since then’ and is eligible for his case to be dropped, the outlet reported.
Bryan was arrested September 7, 2023 by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and jailed briefly in northeastern Oklahoma, according to a video posted on his account on the social media site X, formerly Twitter.
Bryan said he was driving through Vinita, about 55 miles northeast of Tulsa when his security guard, who was driving behind him, was stopped by an officer.

Bryan, who is from Oologah, about 25 miles northeast of Tulsa, said he also stopped and after 10 to 15 minutes, got out of his vehicle to smoke a cigarette when the officer told him to get back inside the vehicle or be taken to jail.
In a clip obtained by TMZ, Bryan was seen clashing with law enforcement, telling a police officer he felt that ‘f***ing cops are out of hand, truly.’
Bryan said on X that he cursed the officer, who then handcuffed him and placed him in the patrol vehicle.
‘I get too lippy with him,’ Bryan said. ‘I’m just mouthing off like an idiot’ and the officer was ‘just doing their job.’
Bryan said he spent ‘a few hours’ at the Craig County jail before being released on bond and that he spoke to the officer and shook hands with him before leaving.
Bryan at the time said on X he is ‘truly sorry to the officers’ and that he was out of line.
‘I don’t think that I’m above the law, I was just being disrespectful … I was just an idiot … and it won’t happen again,’ Bryan said in the video. ‘I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize.’
Bryan’s split with Brianna Chickenfry, whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia, has been in the headlines as of late, as she moved from his mansion in Massachusetts amid claims he had been ’emotionally abusive’ toward her.

Chickenfry on Wednesday said on her BFFs podcast that the Something in the Orange vocalist had been calculated in not public responding to her accusations, as he knows she has evidence to back up her claims.
‘I obviously think he’s not responding because if he is to respond, he has to deny it then I post all the videos and the recordings,’ Chickenfry said of Bryan. ‘I think the response itself, the silence, is deafening. I think his response proves his character again.’
Chickenfry said on the podcast that she intentionally ‘didn’t share the whole story’ so as to let the Heading South vocalist have a better chance to understand how he fumbled their relationship.
‘I don’t believe people are lost causes,’ Chickenfry said. ‘It was my final cry at help to try to get him to see what he does to people and to try to get him to get help.’
Chickenfry said on her podcast November 7 that Bryan had subjected her to ‘narcissistic, emotional abuse’ and ‘manipulated the f*** out of’ her during their romance, which began in July of 2023.
‘I’m still scared right now,’ Chickenfry said. ‘I don’t expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven’t been through it, and I hope you never have to go through, but if you’ve been there, you know what I’m talking about.
‘It was just this constant cycle of, “Built you up, beat you down, apologize,” over and over and over.’
Chickenfry said she declined a lucrative offer Bryan and his team made – to the tune of $12 million – if she would agree to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement.
Both Bryan and Chickenfry issued statements in the wake of their October split
‘I don’t want, in two years, to buy a f***ing house and think, “Oh, this is the money from the dude that literally f***ing destroyed me and broke me for a year” – f*** that.’
Bryan and Chickenfry confirmed their split this past October 22, with statements posted on their respective Instagram pages.
‘I’ve had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things,’ Bryan said. ‘I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go out different ways. I am not perfect and never will be.’
He added: ‘With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.’
Chickenfry put up a post shortly thereafter which read, ‘Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk.’
Bryan earned his first number-one album in September of 2023 and in a duet with Kacey Musgraves, had the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 last year with I Remember Everything.
