Video shows moment country bad boy Morgan Wallen allegedly hurled chair off Nashville rooftop bar, narrowly missing cops on the ground
Surveillance footage reportedly caught the moment country music star Morgan Wallen allegedly hurled a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar Sunday night, narrowly missing cops on the ground.
The blurry clip, obtained by TMZ, shows an unidentifiable object fly over the side of the roof of the Chief’s Bar and quickly plummet to the ground below on the busy downtown street.
Wallen, 30, was arrested for allegedly tossing the chair over the edge of the sixth-floor rooftop of the Broadway bar, owned by fellow country singer Erich Church, just after 10:45 p.m.
The seat landed just three feet away from Metropolitan Nashville Police officers on the ground, the police department said.
The “Wasted on You” singer was booked into Davidson County jail just after 12:30 a.m. Monday on three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.
Wallen flashed a cheeky grin in his mugshot, released by police.
His bond was set at $15,250 — which he posted — and he was released at around 3:30 a.m.
“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.”
Bar-goers who witnessed the chair-throwing and arrest claimed the “Somebody’s Problem” hitmaker laughed after the ordeal.
The alleged reckless behavior is not the first time Wallen has found himself in the back of a police cruiser after a night out in Nashville.
He was arrested in May 2020 on intoxication and disorderly conduct charges after being kicked out of Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk bar in downtown Nashville. He later apologized for his behavior on X.
The country singer, known for hits like “Whiskey Glasses” and “Last Night,” was also charged with DUI in 2016 but the case was dismissed.
He made the news for all the wrong reasons in February 2021 as well after he was overheard using the N-word in a video recorded by his Nashville neighbors and obtained by TMZ.
He apologized for using the racist slur and claimed he was “on hour 72 of a 72-hour bender” when he uttered the word.
“There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” Wallen, 30, told Billboard.
Wallen’s next court date is set for May 3, according to the Davidson County Criminal Court.
The Post reached out to Wallen’s reps for comment.
