Country singer Tanner Usrey was arrested in Collin County, Texas, earlier this week on charges that include driving while intoxicated (DWI) and felony drug possession involving fentanyl.
According to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office, Usrey, 32, was taken into custody on Monday, March 30. Court records obtained by Fox News Digital show he is facing three charges in total.
One charge is his second DWI offense, a Class A misdemeanor in Texas that can carry jail time, fines and a driver’s license suspension of between six months and two years.

He is also facing two felony drug charges.
Usrey was charged with possession of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 1/1-B — a category that includes cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, opium and oxycodone. The "1-B" designation specifically refers to fentanyl and fentanyl-derived substances under Texas law.
Usrey was in possession of between 4 and 200 grams of the substance, according to court documents. That amount makes the charge a second-degree felony, which carries a potential sentence of between two and 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The second drug charge, also a felony charge, is in Penalty Group 2, which includes varieties of stimulants and hallucinogens.

Days before his arrest, Usrey shared a video of himself performing "Smoke in the Air," a track off his latest record.
In July, Usrey told Rolling Stone that his latest album "These Days" was a shift in perspective, leaning more into growth than chaos.
"It’s about heartbreak, as usual, but the overall theme is more mature than what I’ve been writing about," he said at the time.
He added, "It’s about counting the little wins, and that’s why I named it ‘These Days.’ I want to appreciate every little moment, and every day that I make it through and everybody else makes it through. It’s not all self-destruction anymore, it’s about real stuff."
