5/28/2008 Lisa Ann Schleipfer Chris Cagle arrested Country Music singer-songwriter Chris Cagle and his girlfriend, Jennifer Tant, were arrested on domestic assault charges Wednesday morning in Nashville. The arrest occurred at 4:40 a.m. at Cagle's home.  The couple was found by police with signs of physical abuse—Tant with a scrape on her lip and a sore arm from Cagle hitting her with her purse, and Cagle with a bump on his head where Taut hit him with an umbrella. Police reports say the couple began having an argument after leaving Players Inn earlier this morning.  After returning to Cagle's home, the disagreement escalated. Tennessee domestic laws required both parties to be taken into custody, as both were seen as the physical aggressors. Bond was set at $1,500 each. Both parties will remain in jail until 4:40 p.m. today, which will cause a problem for the Country Music artist, Cagle, who has a performance tonight at midnight in Ocala, FL. Chris Cagle is already set for a September 23 trial in Tucson for assault charges from a December 13, 2007 altercation with Mark Barry.
