Brad Paisley Pulled Over for DU-Ice Cream

The CMA Awards are less than a week away, and since Brad Paisley is co-hosting the show and is nominated for five awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year, chances are he'll have something to celebrate after the ceremony. But while many of his fellow nominees may raise a glass in victory, or drown their sorrows in defeat, Brad, a self-proclaimed tee-totaler, will do neither, which makes his recent encounter with the police fairly ironic.

"I got pulled over the other day for suspected DUI," Brad reveals to ABC's 'Nightline.' "That's so funny because I've never drank. I don't drink at all."

The proud father had just taken his two sons, 4-year-old Huck and 2-year-old Jasper, out to get ice cream. So the police encounter made the boys' sugar high all the more sweet.

"My kids, it was the greatest thing that ever happened," Brad recalls with a smile. "They ran through the house when we got home telling everybody, 'Daddy got arrested!'"

Fortunately, the 'Alcohol' singer was not arrested and can go on with prepping for his CMA hosting gig. In addition to his nod for Entertainer of the Year, Brad's other nominations include Album, Male Vocalist, Musical Event and Music Video of the Year. He and his 'Remind Me' duet partner, Carrie Underwood, are co-hosting the show for the fourth consecutive year.

The 45th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 9, at 8:00 PM ET on ABC.

If its true that he doesn't drink, he's got to be the only country/western signer who doesn't. OTOH, it appears to be true which makes him an exception performer, father and all around human being. I'm a fan for life.

the useless cop probably saw that it was Brad Paisley and pulled him over just to meet him. Typical "holier than thou" cop behavior. I'll bet the cop told everybody at the donut shop about how he met Brad Paisley!!!

Think about it. He took the kids for ice cream. I've done that. Could it be that he was trying to eat it in the car and pulled on the wheel too much? lol Lots of possibilites. If I had a 2 and 4 yr old in the car eating drippy ice cream, I'd be 'erratic' too watching them and the possible mess. Or did he reach over the seat trying to 'catch' ice cream that had fallen into a small lap. :)

Brad is not country, he is a crossover pop singer. I used to watch the CMA show every year but it has been a while, as there are no more George Straits or George Jones or Alan Jacksons or Merle Haggards, and I gave up regular radio many years ago also, and as I write this I am tuned in to XM radio Channel 56, Willie's Place, as they still play REAL country music. I have it in all 3 of our vehicles and on our home stereo. We had friends over this afternoon and it was playing softly in the background, and one of them asked, hat station did you find that plays such great music, and I replied that it is XM radio channel 56. Now if the CMA show would return to REAL country, I would watch, but there are not any REAL country singers anymore, just a bunch of pop crossovers. Enjoy the show, rock fans.
