Country singer Morgan Wallen, known for his chart-topping albums and controversial past, was arrested in Nashville early Monday morning on charges of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. The 30-year-old superstar was accused of throwing a chair from the rooftop of Chief's, a new bar opened by fellow country star Eric Church in the bustling Broadway district. The chair narrowly missed two police officers standing below, leading to Wallen's arrest on three felony counts and one misdemeanor.
Wallen, who had just kicked off his latest tour with shows in Indianapolis, was quickly released on bond and is set to appear in court on May 3. His lawyer, Worrick Robinson, stated that Wallen is fully cooperating with authorities following the incident. This is not the first time the singer has faced public scrutiny - in 2021, he was embroiled in controversy after a video surfaced of him using a racial slur, leading to backlash and a temporary suspension from his record label.
Despite these setbacks, Wallen's music career has continued to thrive, with his latest albums "Dangerous: The Double Album" and "One Thing at a Time" both achieving massive success. The news of his arrest in Nashville has once again put the spotlight on the country star's tumultuous journey in the music industry. Wallen's upcoming court date and the fallout from this latest incident will undoubtedly be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
