<\/figure>\nSinger Michelle Branch was arrested Thursday at her Nashville home on a misdemeanor assault charge on the heels of splitting from her husband, Patrick Carney of the Black Keys.<\/p>\n
She spent almost eight hours in jail before being released on $1,000 bail. <\/p>\n
According to the arrest affidavit, Metro Nashville Police Department officers responded to the couple’s home just after 2 am for a report of a possible domestic disturbance.<\/p>\n
Branch, 39, told police she and her husband “are having marital problems” and said she slapped Carney in the face once or twice during an argument, according to the affidavit. <\/p>\n
Carney had no visible injuries, an officer wrote in the report.<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with officers, Carney told police his wife slapped him.<\/p>\n
Branch was booked into jail at 4:30 am on a misdemeanor domestic assault charge, online records show, and was released just before noon.<\/p>\n\n
Representatives for Branch did not immediately respond to USA TODAY for comment regarding her arrest.<\/p>\n
Police arrested Branch on the same day the singer confirmed to USA TODAY she split from Carney. The \u201cEverywhere\u201d singer-songwriter married the rock drummer in April 2019. They share two children, one who is an infant.<\/p>\n
“To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward,” Branch wrote in a statement released to USA TODAY Thursday night. “With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness.” <\/p>\n
Court documents show Branch is slated to appear in court Nov. 7 for a settlement.<\/p>\n
