Morgan Wallen, a country music artist, was detained and charged with hurling a chair off a club roof.

The latest in a spate of public incidents involving the hot-shot country music artist, Morgan Wallen, was taken into prison early on Monday morning for reportedly tossing a chair from the sixth-floor roof of a downtown Nashville bar and performance venue.
The 30-year-old chart-topper Wallen is charged with three felonies of reckless endangerment and disorderly behavior, according to Nashville police, who shared a smiling mug photo of Wallen on X. Two police officers were not far away when the chair fell into the Broadway strip.

According to an arrest record acquired by WTVF, officers looked at footage that showed Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof” of Chief’s bar, a brand-new honky tonk in Nashville’s entertainment area. Witnesses who were quoted in the story claimed to have seen him chuckling after the event.
In a short statement, Wallen’s lawyer Worrick Robinson said that his client “is cooperating fully with authorities.”
Eric Church, a fellow country music artist and Wallen’s buddy, launched Chief’s, which opened last week. (Wallen intends to launch his own downtown Nashville pub later this year; it’s only a few streets away.) Recently, Church and Wallen entered the business world together when they joined together to purchase the retail brand Field & Stream and revive the print magazine.
Over the last several years, Wallen’s fame has skyrocketed, as seen by the success of her songs “One Thing at a Time” (2023) and “Dangerous” (2021), which both topped Billboard charts and established records. However, he has had a number of high-profile mishaps alongside his climb.
In 2020, he was arrested for disorderly behavior at a separate pub in Nashville. After that, Wallen apologized to the public and shared a picture of himself grinning with Kid Rock, the proprietor of the establishment.
After social media footage of him partying in the early months of the coronavirus epidemic sans a mask surfaced, Wallen issued another apology. This event momentarily interfered with his preparations to appear on “Saturday Night Live.”
For a while in early 2021, Wallen’s career seemed to be really in risk when TMZ released video of him using the n-word with a buddy outside his house. Wallen was immediately suspended by his record company, prohibited from attending award presentations, and had his songs removed from hundreds of radio stations.
However, the singer’s career took off when he apologized “sincerely” for using the term in a statement and made a commitment to “do better.” A year after the controversy, The Washington Post chronicled Wallen’s headline tour debut, and many of his fans were willing to extend forgiveness—if they felt it was even necessary.
What punishments Wallen would get after his detention on Monday were not immediately apparent. According to WTVF, he was freed after putting up a $15,250 bail. His next court date is May 3, which also happens to be the day he plays at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, according to the station.
