The outlet reported that the "Big Deck" singer was booked into the Cabarrus County Jail in North Carolina, "over outstanding warrants tied to traffic violations and a charge alleging he obstructed a police officer."

Sanders, 38, was the runner-up on Season 25 of The Voice.

His arrest on Saturday adds to ongoing legal battles, as TMZ reported that the singer is currently "embroiled in a contentious custody battle."

The Voice finalist and his wife, Kendra, separated in January and have been locked in a feisty custody battle ever since, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

In June, the Country singer asked the court for custody of the couple's three children. He claims Kendra has interfered with his ability to co-parent and has tried to turn the children against him. Josh also alleges one of their children told him she wants to live with him.

Kendra painted a different picture, however.

In her own court filing, she described Josh as an "active alcoholic" who "drank away" professional opportunities after his run on Season 25 of The Voice. She also accused him of driving drunk with the children in the car and acting violently in front of them.

Because of his alleged drunken behavior, Kendra argued that Sanders should only have supervised visitation. She also stated that she should have primary custody because she can provide an "alcohol free" environment for their children.

Sanders' latest arrest and custody battle are not the only legal issues he's faced this year. The troubled singer was arrested in April for allegedly violating a temporary domestic violence restraining order.

Since his run on The Voice, Sanders has struggled to gain commercial success.

Josh auditioned for The Voice with a rendition of Nate Smith's "Whiskey On You," earning chair turns from both Reba and Dan + Shay. He opted to join Team Reba, telling the other coaches that he couldn't "turn down the Queen of Country."

Sanders, a North Carolina native, initially pursued a rock music career before transitioning to Country.
