Country music sensation Morgan Wallen threw a chair (which landed next to a police car) after he allegedly found out his ex got married.

"KT's marriage to Luke last week just crushed [Wallen]," a source previously told Daily Mail. "Of course, he knew they were engaged and eventually going to get married - but eloping just days after they got engaged?"

"Morgan has never gotten over her, even though he couldn't stay faithful to her. And now another man is going to be raising his son," the source added. Wallen and Smith share a son, Indigo.

"Whatever happened at that bar had to be reality hitting him in the face over losing the love of his life," the source continued.

The singer-songwriter has previously addressed drinking in his music. In his song, 'Born with a Beer in My Hand,' he wrote the following lyrics:

"Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me / But these days I’m livin' on the side of alive / Just 'cause I smile through my sobriеty / Don't mean it ain't chillin' in the back of my mind / I ain't sayin' I swore it off for good / I’m just sayin’ I'm doin’ thе best I can / But what do you expect from a redneck? / Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand."

In 'Whiskey Friends, ' another song he wrote, Wallen sings, "Looks like I did it again / Me and my stupid mouth / I dug myself into a hole in the wall / And I gotta drink my way out."

According to Country Chord, Wallen's new album, 'One Thing At A Time,' mentions alcohol 190 times.

Morgan Wallen told Billboard a few years ago that he completed a 30-day rehab program, which he says helped him be more aware of his relationship with alcohol.

“That used to be my warm-up — to get half-lit: ‘I’m going out there, and we’re going to go have fun.’ Now, that is not the way I approach it,” he explained, “I used to be scared to even think about what it would be like to play a show without drinking: ‘That sounds terrible. Why would I ever do that?’ And now I’m almost scared to wonder what it’d be like if I was drunk."

“I’m still figuring out my personal life,” he told the outlet, admitting he doesn't know if he will cut back on drinking when he is not on tour.

The 'Cowgirls' singer has yet to comment on the recent arrest that happened Sunday, April 7, but Wallen's attorney, Worrick Robinson, says he "is cooperating fully with authorities."
