Psych evaluation ordered for SupernawWed Apr 4, 8:46 AM ET
BRYAN, Texas - Troubled country singer Doug Supernaw was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation after he told a judge he was the subject of a police conspiracy.

Supernaw is best known for his 1993 hits "Reno" and "I Don't Call Him Daddy," but has been beset by legal problems in recent years, mostly related to drug and alcohol offenses.
He was in court Tuesday for trial on a misdemeanor charge of evading arrest. The charge stemmed from a 2004 confrontation with a police officer. Supernaw could face up to six months in jail if convicted.
In a pretrial hearing, Supernaw, 46, listed off police agencies that he said had beaten him to ruin his recording career and his chances at a baseball career.
"It has been a political economic conspiracy, and I have proved it time and time and time again," he told Brazos County Court Judge Jim Locke. Supernaw said the abuse started when he was "held hostage in Paris" in a "mentally retarded home for terrorists" for two weeks in 2002.
Locke sent the jury pool home after the statements from Supernaw, who also claimed that he was a "test monkey" to see if someone could smoke marijuana and play baseball at the same time.
Supernaw was arrested in November on a marijuana possession charge in Humble. In 2005, he was sentenced to 115 days in jail and a $300 fine for marijuana possession in Amarillo when he was in town for a minor league baseball game.

Don't know anything about his baseball or if he played ball in Bellville or grew up there for that matter. What is a shame is he has great musical talent but he has thrown it all away for drugs and booze.Originally posted by g$$

That would make sense. He was Married to a former Miss Oklahoma, very good looking woman, seems to have lost it after she left.Originally posted by g$$

Sad deal, maybe he can get some help now before he's dead on the street somewhere. Sounds delusional from the quotes.Originally posted by FormerBellvilleBrahma

The father of one of my HS classmates plays (used to play?) keyboards for Supernaw and was one of the 2 dozen or so co-writers of "Reno." Also, a former co-worker of mine used to work for his road crew when he was "big." It's a sad story...I still listen to his CDs every so often.
