“I get too lippy with him,†Bryan said. “I’m just mouthing off like an idiot†and the officer was “just doing their job.â€
Bryan said he spent “a few hours†at the Craig County jail before being released on bond and that he spoke to the officer and shook hands with him before leaving.
Bryan , he is “truly sorry to the officers†and that he was out of line.
“I don’t think that I’m above the law, I was just being disrespectful ... I was just an idiot ... and it won’t happen again,†Bryan said in the video. “I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize.â€
