Randy Travis entered a not guilty plea as a response to assault charges stemming from an August parking lot incident in Plano, Texas. The tangle at the Prestonwood Baptist Church resulted in the singer being charged with a Class C simple assault, which a spokesman for the Plano police described as something from a simply unwanted touch to any physical contact that doesn’t cause pain or injury.
Randy Travis' brother, David, was arrested twice in recent weeks, including an arrest last Thursday (Sept. 13) on charges of methamphetamine possession, manufacturing drugs and drug paraphernalia possession. David Traywick (Travis was born Randy Traywick) was also arrested on Aug. 27 in Union County on second degree trespassing and communicating threats charges.
Randy Travis is in the news again, but this time, it doesn’t have to do with him being naked, intoxicated, assaulting someone, defending his lady friend or being near a church — all of which have been the scenarios for his previous brushes with the law this year. This time, a Chevrolet truck registered to Travis was found tipped over and abandoned in a field behind a Walmart in Frisco, Texas. The singer’s lawyer, Larry Friedman, says Travis was not driving the vehicle nor was he responsible for its condition.
Sources say that Randy Travis was only defending his fianceé when he was charged with minor assault early Friday morning (Aug. 24), leaving many to wonder: Is the country legend getting married again soon?
"Ain't what it used to Be" is a phrase I'm sure you have heard before. Don't think today's Country music sounds like it used to? Maybe not but that doesn't mean twin fiddles and a steel guitar.
