(October 21, 2008)—Jewel has punked Brad Paisley, who was handcuffed and thrown into the back of a police car after his private jet landed at Nashville's airport Saturday night.
At one point, Paisley said, "You gotta be kiddin'," and the arresting officer said sternly, "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
Paisley said, "You don't, but I've never done anything wrong in my life."
The officer who arrested him said Jewel had filed more than 40 charges against him in Texas and Tennessee for "excessive noodling."
Paisley asked, "On the guitar?" and the officer said, "Yes."
At that point, Paisley knew it was a joke.
He said, "You know what, I'm guilty" and started laughing.
Paisley says that was the best he's ever been had.
Paisley's prank-filled tour with Jewel and Chuck Wicks ended Saturday.
