Country singer Morgan Wallen faces legal trouble after a bizarre incident at Eric Church’s honky tonk in Nashville. According to reports, the 30-year-old singer allegedly threw a chair from the sixth floor of the building early Monday morning.
Police officers stationed outside the bar narrowly avoided getting hit by the falling chair. Staff members identified Wallen as the culprit, and security footage reportedly showed him throwing an object over the balcony railing. Witnesses claim Wallen laughed after the incident.
As a result, Wallen has been charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, endangering both the officers and the public, along with disorderly conduct. His bond is set at $15,250 with a court date scheduled for May 3rd, coinciding with his already planned Nashville tour stop at Nissan Stadium.
Country music fans woke up to surprising news this morning as reports emerged of singer Morgan Wallen’s arrest in Nashville. The 30-year-old star allegedly threw a chair from the sixth floor of Eric Church’s recently opened honky tonk, Chief’s Bar, early Monday morning.
According to an arrest report obtained by NewsChannel 5, Nashville Metro Police officers were stationed outside the bar when the incident occurred. Thankfully, the chair landed a few feet away from them, narrowly avoiding a potential injury.
