Police accused Rucker, 57, of driving with an expired registration tag, according to TMZ.

The country music star was released shortly after he posted the $10,500 bail.

His reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The last time Rucker made headlines was in September 2021 following the drug overdose of his ex-girlfriend Kate Quigley.

“You know, she’s doing great. She’s coming out of that,” he shared at the time.

“I’m glad that she’s doing that.”
