An aspiring country music star Austin Tanner has put his career in serious jeopardy after he was found to have violated the conditions of his bond issuing a warrant for his arrest.
The wannabe celebrity seemingly incriminated himself with an Instagram post featuring him and his wife, Skyla, attending the Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, earlier this month.
The post read: '✨ First CMA Awards ✨ Last night was nothing short of magical as we walked the red carpet at the CMA Awards. This moment marked a dream come true!'
His attendance however, was a blatant violation of the 38-year-old's bond conditions, which explicitly state he is not allowed to leave the state of Alabama without previous approval from the court.
The Orange Beach-native was indicted by a grand jury in April on two counts of first-degree insurance fraud, theft of property and attempted theft, according to documents obtained by People Magazine.
In the days following his arrival at the coveted music awards, the budding star arrived at the CMA's, which he allegedly did not receive a formal invitation to, the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion asking a judge to revoke Tanner’s bond.
The motion was granted the next day, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Following his April indictment, Tanner was released on a $20,000 bond, and was scheduled to appear in a deposition hearing on November 21, but the hearing was 'abruptly rescheduled' the morning of the CMA Awards, according to the Lagniappe Daily.

However, Tanner’s attorney Frederick Helmsing, told People Magazine that the hearing his client missed was rescheduled 'due to the complexity of the case, issues over matters of law and ongoing investigations.'
Helmsing also said he was unaware his client was traveling out of state.
In arguing for his bond revocation Assistant District Attorney Clay Rossi included screenshots of his 'incriminating' social media posts in his motion, arguing that the singer was well aware of the conditions of his bond.
Tanner had previously submitted - and was approved - to travel to Florida for a business trip earlier this year.
'Given that the defendant was well versed in the travel conditions of his bond, and given his public disregard for those restrictions, the state seeks to revoke his bond,' Rossi wrote.
Rossi’s motion will be reviewed in a hearing scheduled for December 4.
The All We Need artist continues in his attempts to forward his budding career as he released a single in March and his website chronicles the star as being 'on the cusp of country fame.'
