He now faces charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest.
Alabama Cop Arrested During Morgan Wallen Concert
According to WBRC, court documents state that McCullar attended the concert when police received reports of a man falling into other attendees.
Authorities allege McCullar became aggressive and repeatedly shouted profanity while officers attempted to arrest him, leading to the resisting arrest charge.
"I regret the decisions I made," he told the outlet. "I served in law enforcement for 14 years. I made one mistake during this time. I own it. I made a mistake."
Following the arrest, the Hamilton Police Department placed McCullar on administrative leave.
He later resigned from his role as investigator.
Attorney and Police Chief Speak out as Case Moves Forward
The Northport Police Department continues to lead the investigation as the case proceeds through court.
McCullar's attorney, Jarrod Hall, has defended his client while awaiting additional evidence.
"I haven't had a chance to see the discovery file yet," he said. "I've filed a discovery of motions in district court in Tuscaloosa County about a week and a half ago. Still waiting and that would include the incident report."
Despite the charges, McCullar reportedly hopes to continue working in law enforcement.
Hall said a motion concerning his future employment remains before the court.
"He already has two jobs, two agencies that want to hire him. Hackleburg and Phil Campbell," he added.
Jordan Carter, chief of the Hamilton Police Department, described the incident as a "lapse of judgement" and said it should not define McCullar's career.
He added that the arrest "does not define the entirety of Cody's character".
"He has served his community with dedication and I believe his understanding of those standards played a role in his decision to resign," Carter said.
McCullar's first court appearance is scheduled for early June in Tuscaloosa County.
