Morgan Wallen Released After Being Arrested For 'Reckless Endangerment' Of Police Officers

Country music star Morgan Wallen fell on the wrong side of the law and was arrested following his alleged reckless conduct at a Nashville bar. Wallen was reportedly detained after throwing a chair from the sixth floor of the Chiefs Bar that landed just three feet away from police officers.

The "Cowgirls" crooner was arrested back in May 2020 over disorderly conduct at Kid Rock's Honky Tonk bar in downtown Nashville. He subsequently took to X to own up to his actions and apologize for his conduct at the time.

Wallen was arrested last night and charged with three felony counts after the incident at a rooftop bar in Nashville.

According to the Daily Mail, the hitmaker allegedly threw a chair from the sixth floor of the bar, landing three feet away from police officers stationed in front of the building.

He was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct after the incident around 10.45 pm on Sunday.

"At 10:53 pm Sunday evening, Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct," his attorney, Worrick Robinson, said in a statement. "He is cooperating fully with authorities."

Cops arrested the "Last Night" crooner and booked him just after 12:30 am on Monday morning.

His bail was set at $15,250, and he was spotted being covered by umbrellas as he was released from Davidson County jail around 3:30 am.

According to the New York Post, onlookers said he laughed after the whole incident.

An image of him making the rounds on Instagram appears to show him shouting in the back of a cop car outside the bar.

"I work there, and the chair d--- near took out 2 cops. He threw it from the 6th floor," one Instagram user wrote in the comments section.

According to Page Six, court records show that Wallen must appear in court over the incident on May 3.

The date coincides with his scheduled performance at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville from May 2 to May 4 as part of his "One Night at a Time" Tour.

According to the New York Post, this is not his first time in trouble with the law; he was arrested in May 2020 in Nashville on disorderly conduct and public intoxication charges.

"Hey, y'all just wanted to clear the air. I went out downtown last night with a few old friends. After a couple bar stops, we were horse-playing with each other," he wrote at the time in an apology. "We didn't mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected."

"Thank you to the local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class," he added in another tweet. "Love y'all."

He also garnered the ire of social media users in 2021 after a leaked video captured him using the N-word. The singer then took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer an apology.

"I'm embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back," Wallen said in a statement at the time.

"There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better."

At a recent concert in Indianapolis, the disgraced country star riled up his fans unintentionally when he made a joke about singer Taylor Swift.

Wallen told the audience at the event that he had set an attendance record at the Lucas Oil Stadium, an achievement he said he would boast about "until Taylor Swift comes to town."

"They told me right before I walked on stage that this is the single most-attended concert in the history of this building," Wallen said to a large crowd of adoring fans in a clip shared on TikTok. "And that we are the first people to do that two nights in a row."

The 30-year-old added, "I'm going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town in the fall."

Unfortunately, Wallen's joke was met with boos directed at Swift, prompting him to say, "We ain't got to boo, we ain't got to boo."
