Social Media Has Jokes After Darius Rucker's Arrest

The internet had plenty of jokes after Darius Rucker was arrested on drug charges.

The famous musician known for his time as a solo artist and as the face of Hootie & the Blowfish was arrested Thursday on three charges in Williamson County, Tennessee, according to TMZ.

The  "Wagon Wheel" singer was charged with two counts of simple possession/casual exchange of a controlled substance and a single count of violating the state's vehicle registration law, according to the same report.

All three are misdemeanors, and his lawyer told the outlet, "Darius Rucker is fully cooperating with authorities related to misdemeanor charges."

Clearly, his fans couldn't care less that he was arrested on minor drug charges in Tennessee. Again, he's facing three misdemeanors, and given the fact he's viewed as an upstanding member of the community, it's hard to imagine he won't get a great plea deal.

People don't really get in big trouble these days for minor drug offenses. That's not to say I endorse it. Just pointing out simple facts.

The good news for Rucker is that he's been rich for a very long time, and he won't have any issue affording a great lawyer. The question now is what kind of music he drops about his arrest. If it's anything like the rest of his tunes, then it's going to be a banger.
