Randy Travis has been arrested for an alcohol-related offense – once again. This time, in the nude.

The country singer crashed his car Tuesday night and was arrested at about 11:59 p.m. under suspicion he was driving while intoxicated in Texas, reports TMZ.com.

He is currently in police custody, although no other vehicles were involved. In a follow up report, TMZ says Travis was completely naked when the cops pulled him over.

Travis, 53, who had minor cuts and bruises, was also held on a "retaliation and obstruction" charge, which is a felony.

A rep for the singer did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

This marks another run-in with the law for Travis, who was arrested in February on a charge of public intoxication after police found him smelling of alcohol and carrying an open bottle of wine in front of a church.

The Dallas/Fort Worth-area resident told police at the time he'd just gotten in a fight with his girlfriend – he split from his wife of 19 years in 2010 – and he later apologized for his drunken behavior.

UPDATE: TMZ reports that Travis threatened to shoot and kill the troopers who arrested him for drunk driving last night ... this according to the Grayson County Sheriff's Office.
