Country star Morgan Wallen could have more trouble on his hands than he might have thought in the wake of his arrest early this month on a handful of felony charges after an incident at a Nashville bar.
On Sunday, the “Wasted On You” singer was arrested and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and a single count of disorderly conduct after police accused him of throwing a chair off the roof of the bar in Nashville’s downtown district, TMZ reported at the time.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department claimed that Wallen was on the roof of the Chief’s Bar when he allegedly threw the chair down six stories onto the street below.
The department also alleged that several police officers were standing nearby when the chair crashed to the ground.
After viewing surveillance video of the rooftop, officers arrested Wallen.
The country singer posted a bond in the amount of $15,250 and was released.
But Rither Alabre, a former New York prosecutor and attorney, said that the charges are no laughing matter.
“The felony charges are the most serious ones and could land Wallen in jail for up to six years if he is prosecuted and convicted of those charges,” Alabre told Fox News
