Chris Young has been declared innocent of all accusations relating to the incident that occurred at a Nashville bar on Monday night.
Glenn Funk, the District Attorney of Nashville, issued a statement indicating that the charges in this particular case will be dropped as a result of thoroughly examining all available evidence.
The short statement didn't provide any further details, however, Young's attorney had requested for the charges to be dropped entirely and for an apology to be issued. This request came after a video emerged showing Young being forcefully pushed to the ground by a TABC agent.
The singer known for his song "Young Love & Saturday Night" seems to extend his arm out in front of an agent, but is then forcefully pushed. Consequently, the 38-year-old singer loses his balance and falls backwards into the bar, eventually landing on some chairs nearby.
Attorney Bill Ramsey states in a statement to Taste of Country that the arrest and charges brought against his client, Chris Young, at a bar in Nashville on Monday night were unjust and should never have occurred.
Young and TABC had their initial encounter at the Tin Roof bar just a short while ago. According to the agency's report, Young raised his ID above his head and cooperated with the verification process. However, later on, he reappeared with bloodshot and watery eyes, as mentioned in the report. Additionally, his speech was slurred.
A representative acknowledged that they encouraged Young to create space between themselves and someone else. However, when a video of the incident surfaced, public opinion favored Young.
Taste of Country was given four different camera angles to assess the amount of aggression displayed by the artist in the video above. So far, Young has not addressed the incident on any of his social media platforms.
