 		Country music singer busted at Connecticut airport

Country-music star Gretchen Wilson is accused of living up to the title of her “Ready to Get Rowdy” album while on a plane from Washington to Connecticut.

Wilson wound up in cuffs following a confrontation with cops at Hartford’s Bradley International Airport, officials said Wednesday.

State troopers went to the airport in response to report of a “minor disturbance” on an inbound flight Tuesday evening.

Wilson allegedly pitched a fit over another passenger using the plane’s bathroom, Trooper Kelly Grant told the Hartford Courant.

Troopers met Wilson, 45, on the jetway from the aircraft to the terminal at around 7:20 p.m.

“While interviewing [Wilson] … she became belligerent … and caused a disturbance,” State Police said. “[Wilson] was ultimately taken into custody for breach of peace.”

She was released later on $1,000 bond pending a court appearance Sept. 13.

As of Wednesday evening, Wilson, of Lebanon, Tenn., was still scheduled to perform at an invitation-only concert at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville.

Her lawyer, Robert Britt, told the Courant: “Because the matter is pending in court, I don’t feel it appropriate to make any comments.”

In October 2007, Wilson was issued an in-flight citation during an American Airlines flight from Nashville to Los Angeles. Sources said Wilson said “f–k you” when flight attendants asked her to put her dog back in its traveling case.

In addition to “Redneck Woman,” which topped the country singles chart for five weeks in 2004 and for which she won a Grammy Award, Wilson has scored hit songs from her albums “Here for the Party, “All Jacked Up” and “One of the Boys.”
