Zach Bryan has completed his deferred prosecution agreement following his 2023 arrest in Oklahoma.
PEOPLE confirmed with Craig County, Oklahoma District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Michelle Lowry that on Nov. 14, Bryan successfully completed the six-month deferred prosecution agreement he entered into on May 14 after his September 2023 arrest for obstruction of investigation. The criminal case against him has now concluded.
“He admitted responsibility and followed all of the rules and conditions of probation,” she told PEOPLE in a statement.
Reps for Bryan have not yet responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, Bryan was arrested for interfering with a traffic stop on his security guard, who was speeding on Sept. 7, 2023.
The “I Remember Everything” singer was taken into custody in the town of Vinita and charged with the misdemeanor after his black Ram pulled up alongside his security guard during the traffic stop, the affidavit said.
During the stop, Bryan reportedly left his vehicle to ask why the stop was taking so long and ignored an officer’s demand for him to get back inside, per the affidavit
He also stated, “I’ll go to jail. Let’s do it,” claiming his situation was why “people do not like police officers,” the document added.
Bryan also told the officer that the police were “out of control” and said it would “be a mistake” if he wasn’t let out of handcuffs. The affidavit added that the musician was “clearly aggravated and argumentative.”
His security was pulled over at 5:40 p.m. local time for traveling 78 mph in a 55 mph zone, and 60 mph in a 35 mph zone, per the documents. Dashcam footage shared by NBC News showed Bryan speaking with troopers before entering a police vehicle.
Eventually, the “Hey Driver” artist was released on a $1,000 bond after being booked in Craig County jail.

At the time of his arrest, Bryan confirmed the incident on his social media accounts.
“Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said,” he began.
Bryan added, “I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize. They brought me to jail, and there is a mug shot of me floating around. Prayers we can all move on from this and prayers people know l’m just trying the best I can, I love you guys and I am truly sorry to the officers.”
He also shared a social media video apologizing for his actions.
“I want to start by saying — I have to deal with the legalities of it. I did go to jail. They didn’t play favorites, and I was an idiot today. My decisions did not reflect who I was as a person, and I just want to make that clear. I should have been smarter about it,” Bryan said.
