Newly released body camera footage shows Zach Bryan in handcuffs while telling police he’s too famous to give his address — just three days before the country star was taken to jail for talking to another officer.
The “Heading South” hitmaker was told he was pulled over in Verdigris, Okla. for going 68 in a 50mph speed limit, footage shared by Fox 23 shows.
Asked his current address, Bryan, 27, said after a pause: “I’m not really comfortable sharing it.”
“You have to,” the officer replied. “Either you can give me the information I need for my ticket which I will give you, or you can go to jail.”
Bryan was seen with his hands ‘handcuffed behind his back’ as he continued to refuse to help the police.
“I don’t think it’s any of your business where I live — I’m a famous musician and I don’t want people to know where I live,” he said with obvious disdain.

The cop then challenged Bryan on whether he really supported law enforcement, telling him he had just attended his concert a few days before the traffic stop.
“Of course I do. I don’t support this s–t,” the singer said. “This is crazy work.”
The cop replied: “Listen, just because you’re a famous musician doesn’t mean you can deny information.”

“I’m just going to give you a regular speeding ticket,” the officer told the star. “When they started rejecting information, I didn’t know you from Adam. I’m out here on a dark street, OK?”
The pair reconciled, and Bryan apologized for withholding information – apologizing again on social media.
Three days later, Bryan had another altercation with a cop who pulled his bodyguard over for speeding in Vinita, Oklahoma.
The singer has since issued a lengthy apology on social media – including stopping for speeding before the arrest – in which he admitted that he acted like a “stupid” and “real kid.”
“My decision doesn’t reflect who I am as a person – I just wanted to make it clear. I should have been smarter about it,” he said in part.
