American country-rap artist and YouTube personality Ryan Upchurch was reportedly arrested and booked into the Cheatham County Jail in Tennessee on June 9, 2026, on an alleged charge of simple assault involving physical contact.

According to information shared by Busted and Booked: Cheatham County, Upchurch was taken into custody at approximately 3:37 p.m. Jail records indicate he was processed on a charge of simple assault and released roughly 28 minutes later. No bond amount was listed in the available booking information at the time of reporting.

Authorities have not publicly released additional details regarding the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, including what led to the arrest or whether any other individuals were involved. The case remains under review, and no court date has been formally confirmed in publicly available records.

As with all criminal allegations, the charge represents an accusation only. Ryan Upchurch is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Reports of the arrest circulated rapidly across social media platforms, where fans and followers discussed the brief detention. Some online users claimed the incident was connected to earlier events, though law enforcement officials have not confirmed those assertions, and no official supporting documentation has been released.

Ryan Upchurch, known professionally as “Upchurch,” is an independent recording artist, comedian, and online content creator who first gained widespread attention through viral YouTube videos and comedy sketches. Born May 24, 1991, in Cheatham County, Tennessee, he later transitioned into music, building a large following in the country-rap genre through independent releases and online promotion.

Over his career, Upchurch has released multiple albums blending country, rap, and Southern rock influences, and has become known for tracks such as Holler Boys, Rolling Stoned, Southern Land, and Die Tonight. He maintains a strong digital presence and remains a prominent figure in independent music culture.

The reported arrest comes amid prior legal matters that have drawn public attention to the artist, including a widely reported civil case unrelated to the current charge. That matter involved a jury verdict in a separate legal dispute and did not involve criminal prosecution.

As of now, law enforcement has not released further details about the alleged simple assault charge, including the identity of any complainant or additional context regarding the incident. Investigations remain ongoing, and updates are expected as more verified information becomes available.
