Country singer Morgan Wallen was taken into custody on felony charges Sunday night, per local police records.
The 30-year-old was arrested after allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of a bar in downtown Nashville, according to WKRN. Police officers were reportedly standing in front of Chiefs Bar on Broadway at around 10:53 p.m. when the chair crashed to the ground in front of them. The officers went inside to investigate, eventually determining that Wallen had thrown the chair.
Witnesses reportedly described seeing Wallen “pick up the chair, throw it over him, laughing afterward.”
The “Last Night” singer was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He was booked at Metro Jail early Monday morning and released, the report said.
Wallen’s attorney issued a short statement confirming the incident.
Wallen is currently on his “One Night at a Time Tour 2024,” which kicked off at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on April 4. He made headlines last week for joking about Taylor Swift at that show.
“This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row,” Wallen told the assembled crowd. “I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town in the fall,” he added.
This quip was met with a chorus of booing from many concert attendees.
“We ain’t gotta boo, we ain’t gotta boo,” Wallen said.
He continued, “I appreciate that. I know ya’ll got my back,” before starting to play his song, “One Thing at a Time.”
After the success of the tour in 2023, Wallen extended his touring schedule to include multiple U.S. stops throughout 2024. “Thank y’all for an insanely fun and fulfilling 2023 tour,” Wallen said in a statement last September. “It was impossible for me to hit every stadium that I wanted to in 2023, so we’re gonna keep this tour going in 2024. See y’all out there!”
