Country Singer Austin Tanner Faces Arrest for Violating Bond to Attend CMA Awards

Tanner allegedly left Alabama without court approval to attend the event in Nashville, prompting a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.

Austin Tanner, an aspiring country music artist, was indicted in April on charges including insurance fraud, theft, and attempted theft.
Released on a $20,000 bond, Tanner was prohibited from leaving Alabama without court permission, a condition he allegedly violated on November 20 by traveling to Nashville for the CMA Awards.
Tanner posted photos of himself and his wife on the red carpet to social media, which prosecutors used as evidence to request revocation of his bond.
A judge issued an arrest warrant on November 26, with a hearing on the motion to revoke his bond scheduled for December 4.
Prosecutors emphasized Tanner's awareness of the travel restrictions, citing a prior instance where he sought and received permission to travel to Florida for business.
