Morgan Wallen says he's “not proud” of behavior after arrest

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A country music star Morgan WallenHe, who faces charges stemming in part from accusations of throwing a chair from the roof of a six-storey bar, says he is “not proud” of his behavior and accepts responsibility.

The “One Thing at a Time” singer responded publicly Friday night on social media to He was arrested in Nashville two weeks ago. He faces a May 3 court date after being charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, court records show.

The chair at the Chief's Bar fell about 3 feet (1 meter) from the officers, who spoke to witnesses and reviewed security footage, an arrest affidavit said. Witnesses told officers they saw Wallen pick up a chair, throw it off the roof and laugh at it. Wallen was booked early April 8 and released.

“I didn't feel right to go on the record publicly until I made amends with some people. I reached out to Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I take responsibility,” Wallen wrote on X's Twitter previously.

Wallen, one of the biggest names in contemporary country, is currently on a stadium tour, including a concert scheduled for Saturday at Foote Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

In 2021, the country singer was suspended indefinitely from his label after a video surfaced of him screaming racial slurs. In 2020, he was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct after being kicked out of Kid Rock's bar in downtown Nashville.
