Randy Travis was charged with driving while intoxicated and threatening law officers after the country singer crashed his car and was found naked and combative at the scene, Texas officials said Wednesday.

It was the second arrest this year for Travis, who was cited in February for public intoxication.

A photo released by the Grayson County Sheriff's Office shows a battered-looking Travis in a T-shirt, with a black eye and dried blood on his face. He later walked out of jail on $21,500 bond wearing scrubs, a University of Texas ball cap and no shoes.

The sheriff's office received an emergency call just before midnight Tuesday about a man seen lying in a road west of Tioga, where the singer lives.

A car registered to Travis, 53, drove off the road, said Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. The vehicle had struck several barricades in a construction zone, according to the DPS.

Vinger said Travis made threats against Texas Highway Patrol troopers and was not wearing clothes at the time of his arrest. He refused sobriety tests, Vinger said, so a blood specimen was taken.

Sheriff's Sgt. Rickey Wheeler said Travis faces charges of retaliation or obstruction in addition to driving under the influence.

"Travis had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on his breath and several signs of intoxication," according to a statement from the sheriff's office. "While Travis was being transported, Travis made threats to shoot and kill the troopers working the case."

A representative for Travis said there would be no immediate comment on the arrest.

In February, Travis was charged with public intoxication after being spotted in a vehicle parked in front of a church near his home.

He also has been involved in messy court proceedings with his ex-wife. Travis was divorced from Elizabeth Travis in 2010 after 19 years of marriage.

Earlier this year, Elizabeth Travis, who had been his manager for more than three decades, filed a lawsuit claiming that Randy Travis made it impossible for her to do her job and terminated her management contract without proper notice. She said her ex-husband sent several men, including an armed guard, to clean out her offices.

Randy Travis countersued in May, accusing his ex-wife of divulging confidential information about him in order to damage his reputation and career. The court documents don't say what information Elizabeth Travis is alleged to have betrayed.

Drunk and naked?

Maybe he was "diggin' up bones", misplaced his shovel and went for the only tool he had.

AHHHH HEAAHHH....AHHH HEAH HEAH...

RESEARCH FOR A NEW SONG. In acting they call it "method acting".

[14FREEK]

Oh, btw, looks like he 's got a stellar hit coming out soon.

I thought Randy Travis was a wrestler?

[bbarnes5557]

I dont see a problem here...if i lived in Texas Id be drunk and naked too....

[jimatmadison]

That was my thinking, too. Not sure what Travis did is all that unusual in Texas.

[14FREEK]

party time in Texas is not really about politics and it is all over the place. After a good day you can find drunks everywhere, streets sidewalks, lawns, golf courses, on the beach, hell you name. It is a big place with a lot of people.

Oh just leave the guy alone. Stupid tabloids. May Randy Travis just get his act together in private and move on. God bless him and I wish him and his family well.

Marcie, just because someone is famous doesn't give them any more right to break the law than it does anyone else. If I was crashed my car, was drunk and naked, and threatened police that i would shoot them i would be in a heap of trouble.

I'm sick to death with celebs getting away any kind of behavior they choose.

[jimatmadison]

Driving drunk and naked isn't 'in private'.

I hope he gets well, too, but this isn't strike one on this dirtball.

Country music is one of America's strangest sub-cultures, along with 'Born-Again Christianity,' a parallel movement that is by turns funny, pathetic and scary.

"Randy Travis countersued in May, accusing his ex-wife of divulging confidential information about him in order to damage his reputation and career."

I'd say Travis is doing a pretty good job of damaging his reputation and career all on his own...

[jwilsonte5]

I can not figure out why??? do people with all money in world will risk there lives and others lives and drive drunk how pathlic..

[formerlyluvnut]

Justa 'nother stupid N Carolina redneck hillbilly. Can't even sing anyway. ROFLMAO.

[lacreldnert]

He's a registered Democrat.

[hypnotoad72]

Actually, he's a Republican who attended a fundraiser for Michelle Bachmann.

I recommend you get a job at this place:

Based on that, you'd fit in quite well there...

[roger_inkart]

Really? Then I can only wonder why he gave a concert for Michele Bachmann?
