Morgan Wallen Arrested On Felony Charges
Country singer Morgan Wallen’s latest brush with the law occurred in downtown Nashville, where he was arrested on felony charges after an incident at Eric Church’s newly opened Broadway bar, Chief’s. The arrest took place early on Monday morning (April 8) following an altercation involving a falling chair near two Metro Nashville police officers stationed outside the bar. Witnesses claimed Wallen was responsible for the chair’s descent.
According to reports made by authorities, the chair landed approximately three feet away from two officers. Authorities reviewed the video footage of the incident, which showed Wallen hurling an object over the roof.
As a result, Wallen was taken into custody and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment, concerning both the officers and public safety, as well as disorderly conduct. He was booked into Metro Jail and released later that day.
Wallen was promptly booked into Metro Jail and released later the same day after posting a bond of $15,250
