Chris Young has been found not guilty of any wrongdoing following an incident at a bar in Nashville on Monday night.
Glenn Funk, the District Attorney of Nashville, has issued a statement stating that the charges will be dropped "following a thorough examination of all the evidence involved in this particular case."
The concise statement did not provide any additional details, but Young's attorney demanded that the charges be dropped entirely and an apology be issued after a video emerged showing Young being forcefully pushed to the ground by a TABC agent.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Night" is seen extending his arm towards an agent before being forcefully pushed. Following the push, the 38-year-old singer loses his balance and falls backward into the bar, subsequently landing on some chairs nearby.
Attorney Bill Ramsey states in a statement given to Taste of Country on Wednesday (Jan. 24) that the arrest and charges against his client Chris Young at a bar in Nashville on Monday night were unjust and should not have happened.
Young and TABC had their initial encounter a short while ago at the Tin Roof bar. According to the agency's report, Young raised his identification above his head and cooperated with the verification process. However, later on, Young returned with bloodshot and watery eyes, as mentioned in the report, and exhibited signs of slurred speech.
A representative acknowledged that they encouraged Young to "put some space between themselves and others." However, once footage of the incident surfaced, the general public widely supported Young's perspective.
Taste of Country was given four different camera angles, which allows fans to assess the intensity of Young's aggression. Young has not addressed the incident on social media as of yet.
