Jason Aldean, Beach Fine: Singer Tweets 'Gimme a Break!' After $100 Swimming Violation

An annoyed Jason Aldean took to Twitter yesterday (June 11) after he was fined for swimming in supposedly dangerous conditions, Contact Music reports. The country superstar had been enjoying a day at the beach, and while he felt the water posed no threat, a local policeman evidently disagreed.

"Dear officer who gave me a ticket on the beach today for swimming in the water with double red flags.. Thanx for the warning Barney Fife!" Jason tweeted. "I know he was doin his job, but im pretty sure i wouldnt drown in knee deep water. Gimme a break!"

Lest anyone think he has beef with the police, the "Fly Over States" singer clarified his position with a pair of follow-up posts.

"Chill people... Im not bitchin, im just sayin... When there is 100 people in the water and u pick 2 of them to give a ticket to... WTH?" he tweeted.

"I respect all law enforcement & i am thankful for what they do for us, but me & that 12 yr old who got the other 100$ tix.Are a lil bitter," he added.

After posting a photo of crowded beach to prove his point -- "I would like to present exibit A!!!!!" he tweeted -- he fired off one last post, putting the issue to rest.

"Ya'll gettin way too worked up over this.. I was just havin fun & joking then everybody started goin crazy. Simmer down peeps it's all good," he tweeted.

What a moron! Red flag= stay out of the water! Double red flags= Beach Closed!!! You and others do not care about the danger you put yourselves in! What about the dangerous position you put resuce crews in when they have to go after you? 30 people have been rescued from the water over the past 48 hours!!! Use this situation to show people that there is a reason for being cited!!! Of all the people that have drowned in the Gulf, many thought they too would not drown in knee deep water. Common sense people!

As a resident of Panama City and the wife of a first responder, the double red flags are there for a reason...stay out of the water. Over 50 people were pulled out of the Gulf yesterday. Don't put our responders in danger. If you don't like the rule get in your plane and fly over some States on the way out of here. It would be like a nonfanclub member trying to get into a members only meet and greet. Enjoy your music but leave the attitude at home.
