Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Morgan Wallen arrested for throwing chair from bar rooftop
Caption: Morgan Wallen Arrested for Throwing Chair From Bar Rooftop. The 30-year-old country star "was arrested on reckless endangerment charges" early on April 8, NBC News reports. According to an arrest affidavit, Wallen was seen "lunging and throwing an object over the roof" of Eric Church's new bar, Chief’s. Witnesses "observed him pick up the chair and throw it over him, laughing afterward”. The chair landed near two police officers on the ground. Wallen's bond was $15,250. He was released from Davidson County Jail at 3:30 a.m. Wallen's lawyer, Worrick Robinson, said the musician is "cooperating fully with authorities”. The incident took place hours after the CMT Music Awards ended. This isn't the first time Wallen has been in the spotlight for his behavior. In 2020, amid the height of the pandemic, 'SNL' canned him as the show's musical performer for "partying without a mask and kissing women," NBC News reports. In 2021, he caught backlash for using a racial slur. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
