Being a fan of old country music, thought this was interesting as we usually hear of rappers involved in these situations but this guy who was into the Outlaw country scene lived the life of his music
A bounty hunter trying to detain a country music singer wanted on a DUI charge shot and killed the man in a gunfight at the singer’s home, authorities said Thursday.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was looking into the circumstances of Tuesday night’s shooting of 65-year-old Randy Howard, agency spokesman Josh DeVine said in an email.
Howard was a member of country music’s “Outlaw” movement, which rejected Nashville’s polished music in favor of a rougher sound. Howard shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr., and has written songs for Hank Williams III, according to Howard’s LinkedIn site.
Hank Williams III posted a picture on his Facebook page Thursday of him and Howard smiling together under the words, “RIP Randy Howard.”
Howard had been charged with fourth-offense DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and driving on a revoked license, DeVine said. But he missed a court appearance, DeVine said.
Howard’s friend Terry Dotson told Nashville TV station WSMV that he had tried to drive Howard to his court appearance, but the singer brushed him off.
“He said he wasn’t going back to jail. That’s what he told me,” Dotson said.
