Rodney Atkins can rest easy on that pillow he allegedly tried to suffocate his wife with ... because the country star just struck a deal that will keep him out of the slammer ... if he stays out of trouble for the next 12 months.
TMZ broke the story ... Atkins was arrested back in November after his wife claimed Rodney tried to suffocate her with a pillow after a night of hard boozing and arguing.
Atkins maintained his innocence ... but he struck a deal with prosecutors in Tennessee, in which they agreed not to prosecute him ... because he completed anger management, drug and alcohol evaluations. Atkins also promised to complete 30 hours of community service and keep his nose clean for the next year.
Atkins released a statement to The Tennessean saying, "I am so thankful for all those that chose to withhold judgment while keeping my family and I in their prayers. God Bless. Onward and upward.?

It sounds like some prosecutor got bribed. Gee, let's see if attending "anger management" and "drug and alcohol" classes will get Tyrone the stock clerk out of prison for attempted murder of his wife.Reply Likes 6 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote 4. charley:

I still don't believe that Rodney ever once did anything. If he really was a violent person, it wouldn't have taken him his entire marriage of 13 years to show it and he wouldn't have been the one to file for the divorce either.
P.S. As for Tammy Jo, if she lied to the law, then may she end up with nothing when the dust finally settles.Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 5 Clear Vote 6. Denise:
He wasn't even charged with attempted murder in the first place, so there obviously wasn't any evidence it happened. The wife most likely lied. Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 4 Clear Vote 2 Replies Loading Replies...
If you are in Tennessee, you commit a crime, and you have charted in the last 15 years then you get a pass. Even if you attempted murder, then you get a pass. This is called the "George Jones get out jail free" law. It is part of the State Constitution.Reply Likes 5 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote 8. shaheem:

Idiots. Women like her don't accuse their husband's of trying to kill them, unless they did. And there is no way he would have agreed to go to anger management, if he didn't have any anger management issues. You give entertainers buckets of money and kiss their asses, and when they go home, they expect it from their families. This guy is weak and arrogant, and I hope he gets some bad karma for doing this to any woman, let alone his queen.Reply Likes 4 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote 14. Sunset Strip Dealer:
A pillow is way to small to smother somebody with a cranium that big. I wonder if she is heads sister in I Married an Axe Murderer.Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 4 Clear Vote 15. bboy:
