Country music icon Morgan Wallen was allegedly arrested and charged with three felony counts early Monday morning after an incident at Eric Church’s Nashville bar.
Wallen, 30, was reportedly arrested in downtown Nashville after witnesses say he threw a chair off the sixth-story roof of Church’s Broadway-based Chief’s Bar, according to Billboard. Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson allegedly confirmed his client’s arrest, saying that “At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
Two Metro Nashville Police Department officers were standing on the street below the bar when the chair crashed to the ground just feet from them, according to WTVF. Bar staff, witnesses, and security camera footage allegedly showed Wallen as the culprit in the situation. Some said Wallen was laughing after he launched the furniture.
Wallen was arrested and charged shortly after midnight, Billboard noted. He was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, danger to the public, and disorderly conduct.
He posted a $15,250 bond around 3:30am and was released. The weekend marked the opening night of Church’s new bar, news of which received light coverage until the alleged incident with Wallen.
Calls to Wallen’s attorney were not immediately returned.
This is an evolving story. Please check back for updates.
A butt-kicking is the prescribed therapy.
Those are Felonies?
Different degrees........................
Alcohol may have been involved.................... 😁
>> Country music icon Morgan Wallen
Seriously?
Hank Williams is a country music icon.
Hank Jr. also.
Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Mel Tillis, Merle Haggard, Alabama... all country music icons.
Who the hell is Morgan Wallen?
Flagging career? Publicity stunt? Street cred? Never heard of this particular Country music icon. *SHRUG*
Either way, apologies all around, fines paid, a stint in Rehab and all will be forgiven. ;)
>> Alcohol may have been involved...
They serve alcohol at Chief’s Bar?
Then they should ban chairs inside.
In the good old days they threw TVs, guess he was too wimpy to lift even a flat screen.
Drinking and sitting don’t mix......................
Now he can write a real country music hit song....................
For us it is
his dog just died, the truck won't start, and his home fell off the cinder blocks.
He's got a touch row to hoe. &^(
He’s got the “drunk” and “prison” part.
Now he just needs “dog” “mama” “train” and “truck”.
“Who the hell is Morgan Wallen?”
some guy who threw a chair off a building who allegedly can
also play guitar?
If Beyonce can be a “country” singer, Wallen can be an icon.
Never heard of him. Therefore, not an icon and so what.
I thought that was standard. But of course it isn’t the drummer.
“Country music icon Morgan Wallen was allegedly arrested and charged with three felony counts...”
ICON? Never even heard of her! /s
