PLANO, Texas - Plano police say troubled country singer Randy Travis got into a fight in the parking lot of one of North Texas' largest churches.
A police spokesman confirms Travis and another man were fighting in the parking lot of Prestonwood Baptist Church at 6801 W. Park Blvd. late Thursday night.
Both men were given a citation for simple assault, but not arrested, the spokesman said. The citation carries the same legal weight as a speeding ticket.
TMZ is reporting that Travis was "extremely intoxicated" and was taken to a hospital after the citation. FOX 4 could not confirm any hospitalization.
The fight was reportedly over a woman, according to TMZ. However, police did not confirm the reason for the fight.
This is the third time this year Travis has tangled with the law in North Texas.
The singer was arrested on a DWI charge on August 8 near his home in Tioga, in Grayson County. Travis had crashed his Pontiac Trans Am into some construction barriers on FM 922.
During the arrest he allegedly threatened the DPS troopers who found him, and was also charged with retaliation.
Travis was also arrested in February for public intoxication in a church parking lot in Sanger. He was behind the wheel of his car, but not driving, police said at the time.
