Randy Travis was charged with driving while intoxicated and threatening law officers after the country singer crashed his car near Tioga, Texas, and was found naked and combative, officials said. It was the second Texas arrest this year for Travis, who was cited in February for public intoxication. A Pontiac Trans Am registered to Travis, 53, had driven off a road after hitting several barricades in a construction zone, police said. Travis was released on $21,500 bond Wednesday. Blood test results are pending. Grayson County Sheriff's Sgt. Rickey Wheeler said Travis faces charges of retaliation or obstruction in addition to driving under the influence. "While Travis was being transported, Travis made threats to shoot and kill the troopers working the case," the sheriff's office said. A Travis rep declined to comment. Travis in February was charged with public intoxication after being spotted in a vehicle parked in front of a church in Sanger, about 20 miles from Tioga, where he lives. He also has been involved in messy court proceedings with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Travis, his manager of more than three decades. The couple divorced in 2010 after 19 years of marriage. Earlier this year, she filed a lawsuit claiming that Randy Travis had terminated her management contract without proper notice. He countersued, accusing her of divulging confidential information about him in order to damage his reputation and career. The documents did not specify the information she is alleged to have betrayed.
