If you have been following Dierks Bentley on social media, then you have seen the picturesque sights and sounds from Dierks’ annual ‘Seven Peaks Music Festival.’
Unfortunately, not all of Colorado’s spectacular scenes were welcomed.
Over the weekend, Dierks was cited for fishing without a license after he shared an image on Instagram. See the photo below. Based solely on his location, who can blame him for wanting to catch a Colorado Trout?
Dierks shared the experience on Twitter by also tweeting a humorous video showing an official of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department giving him a ticket for fishing.
“Hey Luke, those fish we caught in the Cottonwood Creek this week here in Buena Vista, we should probably get a fishing license next time because I just got pulled over,” Bentley said in his clip. “You’re next,” he said to Luke Bryan. We then see the responding officer said “Hi, Luke” to the camera.
Unfortunately, Dierks has since removed the video. However, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department did appear to have a sense of humor about the incident and retweeted a response.
Dierks paid the $139.50 fine on the spot and was praised by Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Bill Vogrinwho said, “He was as nice as can be. We welcome him back any time to fish, as long as he gets a license next time.”
