Glen Campbell Blames Booze + Rx

Glen Campbell blamed his drunken-driving arrest this week on mixing alcohol and a prescription anti-anxiety drug.

"I'm taking Lexapro and you can't have alcohol with it, and I did. I forgot. That's just it in a nutshell really," the country music star told the East Valley Tribune on Tuesday, the day after his arrest in Phoenix.

Campbell, 67, said he's been taking the medication to treat anxiety for the past seven or eight months.

The singer, whose hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," was arrested Monday at his home after a collision at a Phoenix intersection in which nobody was injured. A witness had followed the car, called police and directed them to the home, police said.

While in custody, police said Campbell became angry and kneed an officer, who was not injured.

The Delight, Ark., native was freed early Tuesday on $2,000 bail on charges of extreme drunken driving and hit and run. He also was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, but did not have to post bond for that count.

Breath tests showed Campbell had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20, according to court documents. Extreme drunken driving applies when results are above 0.15 percent. The legal limit for Arizona drivers is 0.08 percent.

"I fell off the wagon," he told The Arizona Republic. "I think that old wagon, if I fall off it again, it'll run me right over."

The Grammy-winning singer has said previously he decided to quit using alcohol and drugs.

"I've fallen off the wagon before, but not to the point where I was somewhere else," he told the paper.

Campbell told the Arizona Republic the pictures of him looking disheveled and disoriented at the jail are "definitely not" how he pictures himself.

"I've never been in jail before," he said. "A 67-year record, I've never been in jail."
