NASHVILLE, May 28 (UPI) -- Country music star Chris Cagle and his girlfriend have been arrested for domestic assault after a dispute at Cagle's home, police in Tennessee said.

Cagle is known for his songs "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out," "Chick Dig It" and "Wal-Mart Parking Lot."

WTVF-TV, Nashville, said Cagle and his girlfriend Jennifer Tant were arrested early Wednesday morning after an alleged physical confrontation at Cagle's home.

Police said that when officers arrived, Cagle and Tant were intoxicated and both showed signs of physical abuse.

The police report said Cagle had an injury on the side of his head, which was allegedly sustained when Tant whacked him with an umbrella.

Tant also had a scrape on her upper lip and her left arm was red, which allegedly occurred when Cagle hit her with her purse, WTVF-TV said.

Both parties were taken into police custody, booked around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday and ordered to stay in jail until 4:40 p.m.

Cagle's and Tant's bonds were each set at $1,500, the report said.
