Country singer Randy Travis was charged with driving while intoxicated after the country crooner crashed his car west of Tioga, Texas and was found naked and combative at the scene.

State troopers responded to a call at 11:18 p.m. reporting a man lying on the road outside of the town of Tioga. Travis had been involved in a single-car accident and had minor cuts and bruises after crashing his car in Texas, TMZ reports. 

The 53-year-old crooner was also apparently showing a bit too much of his Honky Tonk Moon: Travis was naked when cops arrived at the scene and was given clothing to wear for his mug shot, according to the site.

When police arrived at the scene around midnight, Travis was lying naked in the street, with his busted up 1998 Trans Am off on the side of the road in a pile of construction debris.

Then, when police tried to get him into the squad car, he threatened to kill the troopers, said Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Travis refused sobriety tests, said Vinger, so a blood specimen was taken. The test results are pending.

Tuesday's incident marks the second time the singer was arrested this year alone.

In February, Travis was arrested in Texas on suspicion of public intoxication after police found him sitting inside his car in front of a church with an open bottle of wine and smelling like alcohol.

Travis was released on $21,500 bond Wednesday morning pending an appearance before a judge in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas.
