NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country singer Morgan Wallen has been arrested after police say he threw a chair from the roof of a newly opened six-story bar in downtown Nashville.
Wallen, 30, was booked into jail early Monday on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, Metro Nashville police tweeted.
The charges stem from a chair being thrown from the roof of Chief’s bar and landing on Broadway near two police officers.
An arrest affidavit shows the chair landed about three feet from the officers, who spoke to witnesses and reviewed security footage. Witnesses told officers they saw Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof and laugh about it.
Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest late Sunday and said the singer was fully cooperating with authorities. He was released and his court hearing is scheduled for May 3.
