About a day and a half after Sam Hunt was arrested for driving under the influence in Nashville, he took to Twitter to let his fans and followers know that he regrets his actions.
“Wednesday night (Nov. 20), I decided to drive myself home after drinking at a friend’s show in downtown Nashville,” Hunt wrote. “It was a poor and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone who was unknowingly put at risk and let down by it.
“It won’t happen again.”
