Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker is out on bail after an arrest in Tennessee Thursday on drug charges.

Rucker, 57, was booked into the Williamson County jail on two counts of simple possession and casual exchange of a controlled substance, and one count of violation of registration, Nashville NBC affiliate WSMV reported. He was released on $10,500 bond shortly thereafter.

Rucker, a 90s rock music icon for rock hits “Hold My Hand” and “Let Her Cry,” reinvented himself as a country music singer in the 2000s. His cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Wagon Wheel” rose to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart in 2013. He was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023.
