Country singer Morgan Wallen has been arrested and charged with three felony counts following an incident at a rooftop bar in Nashville, Tenn.
The “Wasted on You” hitmaker, 30, was taken into custody after he allegedly threw a chair from the sixth floor of Chiefs Bar in downtown Nashville just after 10:45 p.m. Sunday night, according to local media.
Officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department claimed the chair landed three feet away from them.
Cops arrested Wallen and booked him just after 12:30 a.m. Monday.
The “Cowgirls” singer was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.
“At 10:53 pm Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct,” his attorney Worrick Robinson told The Post in a statement. “He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
Wallen’s bond was set at $15,250.
He was released from Davidson County jail around 3:30 a.m.
According to onlookers, the country star laughed after the ordeal.
An image posted on Instagram by @itsscoopnashville appears to show Wallen shouting in the back of a cop car outside the bar.
“I work there and the chair damn near took out 2 cops. He threw it from the 6th floor,” one Instagram user who claims to work at the bar wrote in the comments section.
According to the Davidson County Criminal Court, Wallen’s next court date is set to May 3.
The date aligns with his upcoming performances in Nashville, as he’s slated to take to the stage at Nissan Stadium from May 2 to May 4 before heading to Pa. as part of his “One Night at a Time” Tour.
Chiefs Bar is owned by fellow country musician Eric Church. The bar celebrated its grand opening over the weekend.
The Post has reached out to Wallen’s reps and legal team for comment.
It’s not the singer’s first run-in with the law in Nashville.
In May 2020, Wallen was arrested on intoxication and disorderly conduct charges after being kicked out of Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk bar in downtown Nashville.
Following the arrest, he took to X after his release to apologize for his behavior.
“Hey y’all just wanted to clear the air. I went out downtown last night with a few old friends. After a couple bar stops, we were horse-playing with each other,” he wrote at the time. “We didn’t mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected.”
“Thank you to the local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class,” he added in another tweet. “Love y’all.”
Wallen was previously charged with DUI in 2016, but the case was dismissed.
Wallen last year released his third studio album “One Thing at a Time” — which boasts 36 songs and hits like “Last Night” and “Thinkin’ Bout Me.”
The album follows the backlash Wallen faced in February 2021 after he was caught using the N-word in a video recorded by his Nashville neighbors and obtained by TMZ.
He apologized in a public statement shortly thereafter, saying he was “embarrassed” over his actions.
