Aspiring country music star’s career in tatters thanks to incriminating glossy Instagram post
Aspiring country music star Austin Tanner has had his career in serious jeopardy after he was found to have violated the terms of his bond by issuing a warrant for his arrest.
The wannabe celebrity has apparently incriminated himself with an Instagram post of him and his wife Skyla attending the Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee earlier this month.
The message read: ‘✨ First CMA Awards ✨ Last night was nothing short of magical as we walked the red carpet at the CMA Awards. This moment marked a dream come true!’
However, his presence was a blatant violation of the 38-year-old’s bond conditions, which specifically state that he cannot leave the state of Alabama without prior court approval.
The Orange Beach resident was indicted by a grand jury in April on two counts of first-degree insurance fraud, theft of property and attempted theft, according to documents obtained by People magazine.
In the days following his arrival at the coveted music awards, the budding star arrived at the CMAs, to which he reportedly did not receive a formal invitation. The Mobile County District Attorney’s Office has filed a motion asking a judge to revoke Tanner’s bond.
The motion was granted the next day and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
After his indictment in April, so was Tanner released on $20,000 bond, and was scheduled to appear in a hearing on November 21, but the hearing was “abruptly rescheduled” on the morning of the CMA Awards, according to the Lagniappe Daily.

The Orange Beach resident was indicted by a grand jury in April on two counts of first-degree insurance fraud, theft of property and attempted theft, according to documents obtained by People Magazine.
However, Tanner’s attorney Frederick Helmsing told People Magazine that the hearing his client missed had been postponed “due to the complexity of the case, legal issues and ongoing investigations.”
Helmsing also said he was unaware his client was leaving the state.
In arguing for the revocation of his bond, Assistant District Attorney Clay Rossi included screenshots of his “incriminating” social media posts in his motion, arguing that the singer was well informed of the terms of his bond.
Tanner applied — and was approved — to travel to Florida for a business trip earlier this year.
“Given that Defendant was well aware of his bond’s travel conditions, and given his public disregard for those restrictions, the State is seeking to revoke his bond,” Rossi wrote.
Rossi’s motion will be considered at a hearing scheduled for December 4.
The All We Need artist continues his efforts to advance his burgeoning career, as he released a single in March and his website describes the star as being “on the cusp of country fame.”
