Chris Young has been found not guilty of any charges related to the incident that occurred at a bar in Nashville on Monday night.
Glenn Funk, the District Attorney of Nashville, stated that the charges will be dropped "after thoroughly examining all the evidence related to this case."
The concise statement provided minimal details, however, Young's attorney requested complete dismissal of charges and a formal apology following the release of a video capturing Young being forcefully pushed to the ground by a TABC agent.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Night" seems to extend his arm in front of an agent, but is then forcefully pushed. Subsequently, the 38-year-old singer falls backwards into the bar and eventually ends up tumbling onto chairs that are located nearby.
Attorney Bill Ramsey asserts that the arrest and charges against his client, Chris Young, at a Nashville bar on Monday night were unjust and should never have taken place.
Young and the TABC had their initial encounter at the Tin Roof bar just a few moments ago. According to the report from the agency, Young raised his identification above his head and cooperated during the verification process. However, when he returned, the report mentioned that Young had bloodshot and watery eyes, as well as slurred speech.
A representative acknowledged that they encouraged Young to "put some space" between themselves and someone else. However, when the video capturing the incident surfaced, the general public supported Young's perspective.
Taste of Country received footage from four different camera angles, which gives fans the opportunity to assess the level of aggression displayed by Young. So far, Young has not made any comments about the incident on social media.
