The singer posted a statement Friday after he was arrested for allegedly throwing a chair off a bar’s roof that landed near two police officers.
Country music singer Morgan Wallen has spoken publicly for the first time on Friday since his arrest for allegedly throwing a chair off a bar’s rooftop in Nashville, Tennessee, earlier this month.
Wallen was arrested earlier this month after the chair landed on the sidewalk just feet away from two Metro Nashville police officers. The singer had been partying at fellow country music singer Eric Church’s new establishment, Chief’s Bar, when he allegedly threw the chair.
His arrest report said Wallen was reportedly “lunging and throwing an object over the roof,” with some witnesses telling a local news station that he was seen laughing after the incident.
Wallen was taken into custody and charged with three counts of reckless endangerment for the two officers who were near the chair’s impact spot, danger to the public and disorderly conduct. His bond was set at $15,250 and he was released a few hours after his arrest, per Metro Nashville police.
