According to Hartford-based WFSB, Wilson was placed under arrest at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks after a “minor disturbance.” State troopers dispatched to the scene were conducting an interview with Wilson when she became belligerent. They arrested the singer, who resides in Lebanon, Tennessee, and charged her with breach of peace. Authorities set her bail at $1000, and she is due to appear in a Connecticut court on Wednesday. A spokesperson for Wilson declined to comment. Wilson, a native of Pocahontas, Illinois, came barreling out of the gate in 2004 with the hit “Redneck Woman,” from her debut album Here for the Party. A five-week Number One, the tune — penned by Wilson with John Rich — went on to win the Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Wilson’s subsequent singles “When I Think About Cheatin’,” “Here for the Party” and “Homewrecker” also fared well on the charts, though none quite matched the success of her first release. In 2017, she released the album Ready to Get Rowdy. Her next scheduled tour date is September 1st at the Obetz Zucchinifest in Obetz, Ohio.<doc-sep>This booking photo provided by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department shows ex-NFL football player Lawrence Taylor, who was arrested on August 2 in Palm Beach County, Florida on a DUI charge.

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) (CNN) — Country music star Gretchen Wilson was arrested Tuesday night. The singer was reportedly “belligerent” while on an American Airlines flight to Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. A spokesperson for the Hartford Judicial District State’s Attorney told CNN that Wilson was arrested after the flight landed and was subsequently charged with a misdemeanor for breach of peace. Officers who were dispatched to the scene said while interviewing Wilson on the jetway, “she became belligerent towards the Troopers, and caused a disturbance,” according to Connecticut State Police. American Airlines media relations said in a statement to CNN, “Two passengers were in an altercation on the flight. American contacted law enforcement to meet the aircraft upon arrival in Harford(sic).” They did not specify if Wilson was one of the passengers. When contacted by CNN, Wilson’s attorney, Rob Britt, declined to comment. Wilson made her country music debut in 2004 with the hit single, “Redneck Woman” off her album “Here for the Party.” She won a Grammy Award for the song in 2005. Her following album, “All Jacked Up,” became the highest ever debut by a female artists on the country charts at the time – a record that has since been broken by Carrie Underwood. Wilson has been open about the setbacks she faced on her way to stardom. At the age of 15, she quit school to become a bartender but eventually moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. In 2008, she made headlines for going back to school to get her GED. “I had big dreams like most local musicians do, but the chances of this having happened for me were slim to none,” she said in an interview at the time. “Without [an] education, I’d have been pouring drinks for the rest of my life.” Wilson is scheduled to perform at the Mohegan Sun resort in Connecticut Wednesday night. A spokesperson for the resort told CNN the show will continue as planned. CNN has contacted Wilson’s representative for comment. CNN’s Evan Simko-Bednarski contributed to this story.<doc-sep>
Gretchen Wilson, the country singer best known for her hit “Redneck Woman,” was arrested in Connecticut after allegedly causing a disturbance on a flight. Connecticut State Police confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment that Wilson, 45, was taken into custody on Tuesday evening about 7:15 p.m. She was on a flight landing at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., north of Hartford, when she caused a “minor disturbance” on the plane, which led to Connecticut State Troopers meeting her near the plane. “While interviewing the accused on the jetway, she became belligerent “toward officers and caused a ‘disturbance,’” according to the arrest report. She was “ultimately taken into custody for Breach of Peace,” the report stated.

(Photo: Connecticut State Police) Wilson, who famously crooned, “I ain’t no high-class broad” in her Grammy-winning country song, was booked, and took a mug shot in which her eyes are completely closed. Bond was set at $1,000. She is due in court Wednesday. It’s unclear where Wilson, a Tennessee resident, was traveling to when this all transpired. Her website is down, and her Facebook account doesn’t have any upcoming tour dates listed. A rep for the singer has not yet responded to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment about the arrest, and Wilson has not addressed it on social media. Wilson made a big entrance into the music business in 2004 when she released “Redneck Woman,” the lead single for her debut album Here for the Party, and it soared to No. 1 on the country charts. Her second album, All Jacked Up, came out a year later, and the title track became the highest-debuting single for a female country artist.
