In the video, Bentley is sitting in the passenger seat of a patrol car as the officer sits next to him giving him the citation.

Prior to that, Bentley posted a photo where he appears smiling and holding a fish he caught while fishing at Seven Peaks Music Festival in Buena Vista.

Day 3 off to a good start @sevenpeaksfest! #living (btw... @lukebryan only caught one and this is my third in 30 mins... not that it’s a competition... totally not... fishing and Seven Peaks is all about community and good vibes... but if it was a competition... I would be crushing him. But it’s not. But if... just saying)

"Hey Luke, those fish we caught in the Cottonwood Creek this weekend here in Buena Vista, we probably should get a fishing license next time because I just got pulled over," Bentley said in the video he tweeted.
