John Carter Cash Arrested, Son of Country Legend Johnny Cash Allegedly Stripped to His Underwear in Newfoundland Airport

Per CBC News, he had been on a hunting trip and police were advised he was either drunk or having a medical issue

Maybe there was a burning ring of fire that no one else could see.

John Carter Cash, the 44-year-old son of late country legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, was arrested Monday in Newfoundland after he allegedly stripped down to his underwear at the Deer Lake airport, authorities told CBC News.

Deer Lake Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they received a report that a man was either drunk or having a medical issue at the airport. Airport security reportedly managed to convince Cash to put his clothes back on before two constables arrived. 

Cash, who is also a record producer and musician, had been on a hunting trip and was on his way back to Tennessee. 

RCMP told the Truro Daily News that Cash would not be charged because there were few witnesses to his alleged outburst, and they expected that he would be on a flight back home by Tuesday morning.

The divorced father of three is the only child that June and Johnny had together after marrying in 1968, but he has six half-siblings, including singer Roseanne Cash.

In addition to running Cash Productions, he has also authored several children's books; the novel Lupus Rex; a biography about his mother, Anchored in Love; and the memoir House of Cash: The Legacies of My Father Johnny Cash.

He also served as an executive producer on Walk the Line, the 2005 biopic starring Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix as his parents. Talking at the time about how the importance of faith to his family, especially in light of Johnny Cash's battles with addiction and substance abuse, Cash told Belief Net, "Through all of my father's struggles—which are evident in the film—the audience can see that faith in God would help to provide him with truth, vision, and direction.

"So faith was always very important to me. I think early on in life maybe, as so many people do, I rebelled against one thing or another--whether it be music, whether it be the freedom that comes from the relationship with God. I had to go through my own struggles to find my relationship with God. That relationship that I've built has been a result of my own struggles. Sometimes, you find peace through misery. Having said that, what's most important for me to do now is to keep my peace. And the way I do that is through prayer and a life with God."
