Country music star Morgan Wallen was reportedly caught on surveillance footage allegedly throwing a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar, narrowly missing police officers on the ground. The blurry clip shows an unidentifiable object being thrown over the edge of the Chief’s Bar’s rooftop and plummeting to the busy downtown street below. Wallen, 30, was arrested for the incident just after 10:45 p.m. on three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct. The police department stated that the chair landed just three feet away from the officers on the ground.
Following his arrest, Wallen was booked into Davidson County jail on the charges and had his bond set at $15,250, which he posted, being released around 3:30 a.m. His attorney, Worrick Robinson, stated that Wallen is cooperating fully with authorities regarding the incident. Witnesses at the bar claim that the country singer laughed after the chair-throwing incident and his arrest. This is not the first time Wallen has had a run-in with the law in Nashville, as he was arrested in May 2020 for intoxication and disorderly conduct at another bar in the city.
In February 2021, Wallen made headlines for using the N-word in a video recorded by his Nashville neighbors. He later apologized for his use of the racist slur, acknowledging that there was no excuse for his behavior. Wallen’s next court date is set for May 3 at the Davidson County Criminal Court. Despite his controversies and run-ins with the law, Wallen remains a popular figure in country music, known for hits such as “Whiskey Glasses” and “Last Night.” The post reached out to Wallen’s representatives for comment on the recent incident, but no response was provided.
