Early Thursday morning, country music star John Michael Montgomery was arrested in Lexington, KY.

Police tell 27 NEWSFIRST an officer saw Montgomery swerving in his vehicle off Man-O-War, near Belleau Wood Dr, around 2:20 a.m.

Montgomery has been booked for D.U.I, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of carrying deadly concealed weapons, disregarding a traffic control device, and improper turning.

Police say the controlled substance was the painkiller Endocet.

Montgomery was released from jail around 7 a.m.

John Michael Montgomery is a Nicholasville native, and is widely known for his success in country music.

I had to look up Endocet = oxycodone = Percocet. Not the time-released Oxycontin, but the good stuff.

"Together, acetaminophen and oxycodone are used to relieve moderate-to-severe pain."

That's some potent stuff he's playing with. Wonder what gun(s) he had to go with it. :banghead:

Moderate pain huh? No wonder the junk barely touched the pain from a totally crushed sciatic nerve root. I was getting 70 at a time. Of course, after taking the stuff for 2+ months and being on morphine for 2.5 days after surgery I suppose I shouldn't have expected 14 of the little beggars to have much of an effect the first day home.

And I quit cold turkey 4 weeks after surgery.

The pills, not the guns.
