Well, at least he didn’t use the “N” word this time.
Country star Morgan Wallen was arrested last night in Nashville. He tossed a chair off the roof of a bar owned by country star Eric Church. It fell six stories and landed in front of some cops on the street.
When the cops investigated, the employees at Chief’s immediately identified Wallen. After the arrest, Wallen’s lawyer told a local TV channel: “At 10:53p Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
He’s been released on bail of $15,500 on three felony accounts including reckless endangerment.
It’s only a couple of years ago that Wallen got into trouble when he was heard using the “N” word on a home video after leaving a bar. He was briefly “punished” by his manager and record company but not for long because he’s a money maker.
Thanks to streaming, Wallen has already sold the equivalent of over 1.7 million albums since January 1st. He is never off the charts, often with multiple albums in the top 50 at any time.
Wallen’s fans will likely see the chair throw as something they would do, a “good old boy” kind of thing. Yee ha! This will just sell more records and make him more of a legend.
