Country singer Michael Ray was arrested Wednesday morning for driving while intoxicated and possession of marijuana after a fast-food fender-bender.
The “Kiss You in the Morning” singer, 29, was in a McDonald’s drive-thru in Eustis, Fla., when he told cops his foot slipped off the pedal of his Jeep Wrangler and rear-ended the car in front of him, according to a police report obtained by the Daily News.

When cops arrived, they noticed the singer’s eyes were bloodshot and he was slurring his speech.
Ray informed them he had come from a bar, and subsequently failed several field sobriety tests, the arresting officer said in the report.
