Country singer in apology following arrest

Country music singer Glen Campbell has apologised publicly for his conduct, following his arrest yesterday on suspicion of extreme drink driving and leaving the scene of an accident.

"Yesterday, I was arrested and put in jail," Campbell said in a brief statement released through his Los Angeles-based publicist.

"Even at my age, I learned a valuable lesson. I apologise to my wife, my family, my friends, and my fans."

Campbell, 67, whose best-selling career includes 27 top ten hits, was released from jail early yesterday after his arrest on suspicion of hitting another vehicle at a Phoenix intersection.

No one was hurt in the two-vehicle accident.
