Country music singer-songwriter Gretchen Wilson's airport arrest saga is far from over. Check out the latest update here!

As reported previously, country music maven Gretchen Wilson was placed under arrest for ‘breach of peace’ on August 21st upon landing at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Apparently the star got into an altercation with another passenger on the commercial flight.

“I’m saddened by the whole thing,” the artist shared with Taste of Country. “I don’t know that I can say that I’m [embarrassed], I’m embarrassed that the situation got to where it was, but no, not personally,” she explained. Wilson says she’s mostly frustrated by the media coverage surrounding the incident. “I’m reading all of these headlines and am like, ‘Oh gosh, it’s so wrong. It’s all so wrong!’”

Right now, Wilson is limited on what she can say about the situation since it’s still an active case— but she is charged with second-degree breach of peace and is due in Superior Court on September 13th for a hearing on the matter.

“It’s been really frustrating for me not to be able to talk about it, because people who know me know that I just wanna get it straight,” she lamented.

In a radio interview with Big D & Bubba, the star confessed that this incident is the first time she’s been arrested and charged with a crime.

As the Illinois native is working to straighten things out legally, she is using this unpleasant situation to inspire her songwriting.

“Yeah, I kinda started working on one last night. It might be a hit,” the singer-songwriter added during her talk with Taste of Country.

We wish Gretchen the best as she appears in court next month. Share this update with other fans of the star and listen to her cover of Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded” below! 

“Hot Blooded” Lyrics

Well, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded
You don’t have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you’re doin’ after the show
Now it’s up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I’ll show you lovin’ like you never knew
That’s why, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, hot blooded
If it feels alright, maybe you can stay all night
Shall I leave you my key?
But you’ve got to give me a sign, come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama? you sure look that way to me
Are you old enough? will you be ready when I call you bluff?
Is my timing right? did you save your love for me tonight?
Yeah I’m hot blooded, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded, I’m hot
Now it’s up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous?
Oh, before we do, you’ll have to get away from you know who
Well, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded
Hot blooded, every night
Hot blooded, you’re looking so tight
Hot blooded, now you’re driving me wild
Hot blooded, I’m so hot for you, child
Hot blooded, I’m a little bit high
Hot blooded, you’re a little bit shy
Hot blooded, you’re making me sing
Hot blooded, for your sweet sweet thing
