Nashville, Tennessee – Country music star Morgan Wallen was captured on surveillance footage allegedly tossing a chair off the rooftop of a bar in downtown Nashville, narrowly missing police officers below. The incident, which occurred at Chief’s Bar on Broadway, led to Wallen’s arrest on charges of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. The blurry video, obtained by TMZ, shows an object being thrown off the sixth-floor rooftop before landing just three feet away from officers on the ground.
Wallen, 30, was booked into Davidson County jail and later released on bond. His attorney stated that he is cooperating fully with authorities. This is not the first time Wallen has faced legal issues in Nashville, as he was previously arrested for intoxication and disorderly conduct in May 2020. The country singer also received a DUI charge in 2016, which was later dismissed.
In addition to his legal troubles, Wallen faced backlash in February 2021 after a video surfaced of him using a racial slur. He issued an apology, acknowledging the inexcusable nature of his actions. Despite these controversies, Wallen remains a prominent figure in the country music industry, known for hits like “Whiskey Glasses” and “Wasted on You.”
Following his recent arrest, Wallen’s mugshot showed him smiling widely, raising questions about his attitude towards the situation. Witnesses claimed that he laughed after the arrest, adding to the bizarre nature of the incident. His court date is set for May 3 in Davidson County Criminal Court, where he will address the charges brought against him. The Post reached out to Wallen’s representatives for further comment on the matter.
