Country Music Star Morgan Wallen Arrested On Felony Charges

-

Country music star was arrested over the weekend after throwing a chair off of a rooftop in Nashville, .

Wallen, 30, has been charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct. No injuries from the incident have been reported.

“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,” Wallen's attorney Worrick Robinson told Fox News Digital.

An arrest report said some Nashville police officers were standing in front of Chief's Bar on Broadway on Sunday night when a chair fell from above, landing just feet away from them, according to WTVF. The Eric Church-backed bar just opened its doors for the first time on Friday, April 5.

Staff at the venue then told police that Wallen had tossed the chair from the sixth floor, WTVF reported, citing the police document.

The arrest report also stated that police viewed video showing Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof,” according to WTVF.

Court documents show Wallen's first court appearance has been set for the morning of May 3. Later that night, he has a scheduled concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
