More details about Zach Bryan's arrest disclosed what happened during his recent ordeal in his home state of Oklahoma.

What Happened to Zach Bryan?
NBC News obtained the official document from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol detailing the singer's arrest before he was taken into custody in Vinita.
Per the affidavit, Bryan reportedly left his vehicle and asked an officer why the stop was taking so long. It added that he ignored the police's demand for him to get back inside the car and told them "I'll go to jail. Let's do it," adding that his situation was one of the reasons why people do not like police officers.
Bryan is said to be "aggravated and argumentative" during the incident, the document revealed.
The news outlet detailed that Bryan's security was pulled over at 5:40 p.m. after going 78 mph in a 55 mph zone and 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. A dashcam footage shared by NBC News also recorded the moments when the singer was talking to an officer before entering a police vehicle.
Bryan was booked in Craig County jail and released on a $1,000 bond.
