Country music star Chris Cagle and his girlfriend Jennifer Tant were both arrested on domestic abuse charges early this morning. Both were taken into the slammer after police arrived at Cagle’s home and both Cagle and Tant had obvious marks of physical abuse.

Cagle’s latest arrest occurred around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday after he and girlfriend Jennifer Tant visited Players Inn, a bar located west of Nashville in the Bellevue community. Police reports indicate the couple got into a verbal dispute after leaving the bar and that the disagreement apparently escalated into a physical altercation once they arrived at Cagle’s home.

After arriving at Cagle’s house, officers determined that Cagle and Tant appeared to be intoxicated and that both showed signs of physical abuse. According to a police affidavit, Cagle had a bump on his head caused by Tant hitting him with an umbrella, and Taut had a scrape on her lip and a sore arm from Cagle hitting her with her purse.

Domestic abuse is a very bad thing but getting arrested for a country star will just help provide material for the next album. It is sort of like a gangster rapper getting sent to prison. Country music’s version of Music City Row Creed.
