Morgan Wallen Arrested After Allegedly Throwing Chair from Nashville Rooftop Bar

Country music sensation Morgan Wallen found himself in legal trouble once again as he was arrested late Sunday night in Nashville. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter, known for his chart-topping hits and recent controversies, was apprehended on multiple felony charges stemming from an incident at a popular downtown rooftop bar.

According to reports from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Wallen was arrested on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct after allegedly throwing a chair from the sixth floor of Chief’s Bar on Broadway. The chair landed dangerously close to two police officers who were stationed outside the establishment.

Witnesses and security footage corroborated the allegations against Wallen, with accounts stating that he was seen picking up the chair, tossing it over the rooftop, and laughing about it afterward. This reckless behavior led to his arrest and subsequent booking into Davidson County Jail in the early hours of Monday morning.

Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest and stated that the country star is fully cooperating with authorities. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Wallen was released on a $15,250 bond, with a court date set for May 3.

This recent incident adds to Wallen’s string of controversies over the past few years. In 2021, he faced backlash and professional repercussions after a video surfaced showing him using a racial slur. The incident led to his suspension by his record label and the removal of his music from various platforms.

However, Wallen’s popularity remained largely intact, with his album “One Thing at a Time” enjoying immense success, including multiple weeks at the top of the Billboard charts. Despite the ups and downs, Wallen continued to be a prominent figure in the country music scene, embarking on sold-out tours and garnering accolades for his music.

The circumstances surrounding Wallen’s latest arrest have left fans and industry insiders speculating about the impact it may have on his career trajectory. With his court date looming and the potential for legal consequences, Wallen’s future in the music industry remains uncertain.
