Officers found a man slumped over the steering wheel of a vehicle at around 7:00 p.m.

Harrell was booked and released on a bond of $1,789.

The musician was convicted of the same charge following an arrest in July 2012.

Harrell is also awaiting trial on a charge of vehicular manslaughter by intoxication in Nashville. He was arrested in April 2013 following a traffic accident that killed a 47-year-old man.

3 Doors Down, whose hits include “Kryptonite” and “When I’m Gone,” replaced Harrell with bass player Justin Biltonen.
