Phoenix police have arrested onetime country superstar Glen Campbell on suspicion of extreme drunken driving and hit-and-run after a downtown car crash, Reuters reports.

Campbell, 67, spent Monday evening in the city's Madison Street Jail after a 5 p.m. collision between Campbell's silver BMW and a white Toyota sedan. Campbell continued driving after the crash, a police spokesman tells Reuters, but a witness followed Campbell's car and called in the incident on his cell phone.

Officers confronted Campbell at his home and took him into custody. He was alternately combative and congenial, said Sgt. Randy Force, a Phoenix police spokesman. Campbell allegedly kneed a sergeant in the thigh while at the station, but was also heard singing at one point while he was being processed.

The singer was released just after midnight Tuesday morning.

Campbell's official Web site says the singer -- whose 27 Top 10 hits include "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" -- has given up alcohol and cigarette smoking, the wire service notes. But Campbell appears to have fallen off the wagon; Force said the singer was booked because of "his appearance and demeanor and the strong alcohol on his breath."

"That's what alcohol addiction can do to people," Campbell's son Shannon, 18, said. "People should pray for him and any other people who have the same problem."
