State police: Country music artist Gretchen Wilson arrested at Connecticut airport

Grammy winning country singer Gretchen Wilson was arrested at Bradley International Airport on Tuesday night after causing a disturbance, state police said.

Wilson, 45, of Lebanon, Tenn. was charged with breach of peace, they said. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court in Enfield Sept. 13.

According to the state police, troopers were dispatched to a plane's portable bridge about 7:20 p.m. after a call came in about a minor disturbance on an incoming flight.

"While interviewing the accused on the jetway, she became belligerent toward the troopers and caused a disturbance," police said in a brief report. Wilson was taken into custody, and posted $1,000 bail.

Wilson won a Grammy for her 2004 country hit, "Redneck Woman." The Illinois native also is known for her No. 1 albums, "All Jacked Up" and "One of the Boys," according to The Boot, a country music news website.

Her other albums include "Here for the Party" and "Ready to Get Rowdy."
