What really went down Saturday with Jake Owen?   The "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" singer took to Twitter in his hometown of Vero Beach, Florida, posting a picture of himself in handcuffs.  "I just got arrested in my hometown," he tweeted.   Another post read, "I had too good of a time on Cinco de Mayo."

There were also random Tweets about wearing an old man mask and being "ripped out" of Steak and Shake, and other non friendly police rants, but all of those have since been removed.    Yesterday morning, Jake issued an apology.   "I want to publicly apologize again for bringing to light a situation that I overreacted to.  I embarrassed myself and my family and most importantly the great people of my hometown. The sheriffs were doing their jobs and I made an immature decision to announce it to the world. This is me talking. Not some puppet that is reciting what he 'should' say. I take full responsibility. Again, what's done is done, but I am truly sorry."    Despite the picture of Jake in handcuffs, his publicist says he was not charged with any crime and that the whole episode was a "misunderstanding."  Check out Jake at Country Concert 2012 on Friday, July 6th!
