Country Music Star Denies Chair-Throwing Incident in Nashville Arrest Video
Country music sensation Morgan Wallen was captured in police video denying accusations of throwing a chair off a Nashville honky-tonk bar roof during his reckless endangerment arrest in 2024. The Metro Nashville Police Department released footage from body and cruiser cameras, shedding light on the incident that led to Wallen’s guilty plea to two counts later in the year.
The video shows a chaotic scene outside Chief’s on Broadway, where a broken chair was found near a police cruiser. Wallen and his team denied the allegations, with one member shouting at bar workers and claiming there were no witnesses to the supposed incident.
During the arrest, Wallen was overheard on a phone call mentioning country star Eric Church, who co-owns Chief’s, and expressing frustration towards the officers. Despite his apologies and denials of wrongdoing, Wallen was eventually handcuffed after police reviewed security footage showing him throwing the chair off the roof.
Wallen’s career, known for hits like “One Thing at a Time” and “I’m The Problem,” has been marred by controversies, including a previous arrest and a racial slur incident. Despite his legal troubles, Wallen remains a prominent figure in the music industry.
In December 2024, Wallen pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment charges and received a sentence that includes educational programs and supervised probation. His attorney has indicated that the charges could be dismissed and expunged upon completing probation.
Amidst the legal turmoil, Wallen remains passionate about his music, as seen in a candid moment in the police car where he joyfully recognized his song playing on the officer’s playlist.
