The spokesman for Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office made comments directly at singer-songwriter Fiona Apple after she was arrested. Officials say she had hashish and marijuana in her possession.

Apple and her tour bus were stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca while on her way to Austin to record "Austin City Limits."

During the check, authorities found about 4 grams of marijuana and a plastic bag with about 4 grams of a clay-like substance that tested positive for hashish in a glass container, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

Apple was jailed overnight and missed Wednesday night's performance.

On Friday, during her performance in Houston, she addressed her arrest and threatened to release information she claimed was illegal that took place while in custody.

Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office spokesman Rusty Fleming issued a statement in response to Apple's allegations.

"1. If Miss Apple has a legal complaint we urge her to immediately contact the state Attorney General's Office for the State of Texas-(We'll give her the number if she needs that)
"2. If she has an ethical complaint against any employee/jailer/deputy of this department, she needs to report that directly to the internal affairs division of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office. (She spent the night with us here, so she probably already has that number)
"[This concludes the official position of the Sheriffs  Office]

"From Rusty Fleming
"In my capacity as a citizen of the great state of Texas, I would address the rest of Miss Apple's allegations as follows;
"First- Honey, I'm already more famous than you, I don't need your help.
"However, it would appear that you need mine. Two weeks ago nobody in the country cared about what you had to say,--now that you've been arrested it appears your entire career has been jump-started. Don't worry Sweetie, I won't bill you.
"Next, have you ever heard of Snoop, Willie or Armand Hammer? Maybe if you would read something besides your own press releases, you would have known BEFORE you got here, that if you come to Texas with dope, the cops will take your DOPE away and put YOU in jail.
"Even though you and I only met briefly in the hallway, I don't know you but I'm sure you're an awesome and talented young woman and even though I'm not a fan of yours, I am sure there are thousands of them out there, and I'm sure that they would just as soon you get this all behind you and let you go back to what you do best-so my last piece of advice is simple 'just shut-up and sing." 
Sincerely
Rusty Fleming"
