SHERMAN, Texas – After a long legal battle, officials in Texas have released the dash cam video that shows Randy Travis during a 2012 drunk driving arrest.
The singer had just crashed his car and became belligerent to the officer on the scene.
"I want to prepare you for something. The naked man sitting in the back of the truck is Randy Travis," one officer can be heard saying to another in the video.
Randy Travis was arrested for DUI after he crashed his Trans Am near Tioga, Texas, in August 2012.
Troopers say a blood alcohol sample showed he was twice the legal limit. In the video, you can hear officers say Travis is running from them.
Travis declined when the paramedics offered to take him to the hospital.
On the way to the Grayson County Jail, Travis gave the trooper a piece of his mind.
"I pray to God that he will have a cancerous growth that infects his bones and every part of his body," Travis is heard saying.
The singer was sentenced to probation and rehab for the crash.
The Travis family asked that the video be destroyed and fought in court for years to keep it private, but a U.S. appeals judge overruled that request.
In a lawsuit, Travis claimed he got drunk and naked because he was worn out from his busy concert schedule.
Travis suffered a near-fatal stroke a year after the arrest.
