What is Sam Hunt's net worth? Country star pleads guilty to DUI charges nearly two years after arrest

Singer and songwriter Sam Hunt has pleaded guilty in his ongoing DUI case, and his sentence will be a 48-hour jail stint. However, he might not be behind bars.

Hunt appeared in Nashville court through Zoom on August 18 and pled guilty to two counts of DUI. He was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail, but he might not be sent there if he stays out of trouble. Considering the 48 hours, he would fulfill it by taking a DUI education course.

The Nashville, Tennessee native has to complete an alcohol safety course, and his driver’s license will remain suspended for a year. After he gets it back, he must install an interlock device in his car. A third charge, which was an open container violation, has been dropped.

Sam Hunt was arrested in 2019 after driving on the wrong side of a Nashville road. According to the cops, he reeked of booze and blew twice the legal limit, which was 173. He couldn’t find his driver’s license when the cops asked him for it despite that it was there on his lap. He instead gave his credit card and passport to the cops and later apologized and called his actions poor and selfish.
