Country music sensation Morgan Wallen was arrested following an incident in Nashville. Wallen was apprehended on Monday for hurling a chair from the rooftop of a bar, narrowly missing two police officers below.
Wallen faced charges including three counts of felony reckless endangerment alongside a misdemeanour charge for disorderly conduct. Following his arrest, he secured release on a $15,250 bond, with his court appearance scheduled for May 3.
The gravity of Wallen’s situation could lead to significant prison time. In Tennessee, a Class E felony carries a potential sentence of one to six years. Given Wallen is charged with three such counts, the implications are serious.
However, it’s common for felony charges to be downgraded to misdemeanours, potentially sparing Wallen from incarceration.
The catalyst for Wallen’s outburst appears to be personal distress. Sources indicate Wallen was deeply affected by his former fiancée, Katie “KT” Smith’s recent elopement, contributing to his unruly behaviour at the bar. Wallen now faces the repercussions of his actions, marking a challenging period in his personal and professional life.
