NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – Country music star Morgan Wallen faces legal trouble after being arrested in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair off a rooftop bar. According to court documents, Wallen, 30, has been charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct following the incident. This arrest comes on the heels of Wallen kicking off his One Night At A Time 2024 tour in Indianapolis.
Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest, stating that Wallen was cooperative with authorities. The arrest took place at Chief’s Bar on Broadway, where Nashville police officers witnessed a chair falling from above, narrowly missing them. The newly opened Eric Church-backed bar had just welcomed guests for the first time a few days prior.
Venue staff identified Wallen as the individual responsible for throwing the chair from the sixth floor. Police footage reportedly shows Wallen lunging and tossing an object over the roof. A court date has been scheduled for May 3, with Wallen also set to perform at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on the same night.
The Metro Nashville Police Department has not provided comments on the incident as of Monday morning. This story is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
