Stern-Faced Mug Shot Released

Sam Hunt‘s booking photo was just released and the dude looks none too happy to be in police custody — as fresh details surfaced following his Tennessee arrest.
The country music star posed for this stone-faced mug shot at the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office in Lexington, TN, after he was busted for Speeding and Violation of Ignition Interlock Device on January 20.
TMZ obtained a police report with new information about the car stop … cops say Hunt was behind the wheel of a Ford F250 truck driving over the speed limit as he headed west on Interstate 40 in Henderson County.
Police say a trooper in a patrol car clocked Hunt going 85 miles per hour in a 70 MPH zone before pulling him over and asking for his ID.
While checking his driver’s license, the trooper confirmed Hunt was supposed to have a “functioning ignition interlock device” — which is a portable breathalyzer that measures your blood alcohol level — according to the police report.
Hunt was then arrested and booked into the Henderson County Jail before he posted $1500 bond and was released.
As you may know … Sam was placed on probation after he pled guilty to DUI charges in 2021. But, according to court records, his latest arrest did not constitute a violation of his 2021 conviction because he’s no longer on probation, nor is he required to use the interlock system.
