Country music star Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, after allegedly throwing a chair off a rooftop bar on Sunday night, leading to charges of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
According to court documents, Wallen, 30, has been charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct. The incident occurred just days after Wallen began his One Night At A Time 2024 tour with a pair of shows in Indianapolis.
Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, confirmed the arrest, stating, “At 10:53 p.m. Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
The singer was booked for the arrest at 12:36 am and was released at 3:29 am, with his bond listed at $15,250. Wallen’s mugshot, where he can be seen smiling, was shared by the Metro Nashville Police Department on X.
An arrest report indicated that some Nashville police officers were standing in front of Chief’s Bar on Broadway when a chair fell from above, landing just feet away from them. Staff at the venue informed police that Wallen had tossed the chair from the sixth floor. Video footage reportedly showed Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof.”
Wallen’s first court appearance has been scheduled for the morning of May 3, the same day he has a concert scheduled at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
