Zach Bryan’s 2023 Criminal Case Is Officially Closed
· Rolling StoneZach Bryan has completed his deferred prosecution agreement tied to his arrest in Oklahoma last year over obstruction charges, according to documents reviewed by Rolling Stone.
“Mr. Bryan’s successful completion of the deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) is the conclusion of this criminal case,” Michelle Lowry, director of communications for the Craig County District Attorney said in a statement. “He admitted responsibility and followed all of the rules and conditions of probation. DPA’s are commonly used in cases where the person has no criminal record. It is an opportunity to take responsibility for their actions, follow probation rules, and avoid having a criminal conviction on their records.”
A rep for Bryan didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bryan was arrested in Oklahoma a year ago over in Oklahoma on charges of obstruction of investigation after a police officer pulled over his security guard’s car when Bryan was on his way to watch a Philadelphia Eagles game in New England. Bryan got out of his own car, and wondering why it was taking so long, started getting “too lippy” with the cop.
“He brings me over to his car, and I just didn’t help my situation at all. I felt like a child,” Bryan said in a video the day after his arrest, apologizing for the incident. “It was ridiculous, it was immature, and I just pray everyone knows I don’t think I’m above the law. I was just being disrespectful, and I shouldn’t have been. It was my mistake.”

The case’s completion comes amid controversy for Bryan following a very public breakup with podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, who recently came forward with allegations that Bryan emotionally abused her. She also claimed that Bryan asked her to sign a $12 million non-disclosure agreement, and that he made previous partners sign the NDAs.
Bryan has yet to comment on LaPaglia’s allegations.
