Chris Young has been found innocent of all accusations related to the incident that took place at a Nashville bar on Monday night.
Glenn Funk, the District Attorney of Nashville, has made an announcement stating that the charges will be dropped "after thoroughly examining all the evidence related to this particular case."
The short comment did not provide any additional details, however, Young's attorney had requested the complete dismissal of charges against Young and a formal apology. This request was made after a video emerged showing Young being forcefully pushed to the ground by a TABC agent.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Night" seems to extend his arm towards an agent, but is then forcefully pushed. Following this, the 38-year-old singer falls backwards into the bar and subsequently tumbles onto some chairs nearby.
Attorney Bill Ramsey states that the incident involving his client, Chris Young, at a bar in Nashville on Monday night was unjust and he strongly believes that Young should not have been arrested or charged in the initial instance. This statement was provided to Taste of Country on Wednesday, January 24th.
Young and TABC had their initial encounter at the Tin Roof bar a short while ago. According to the report from the agency, Young raised his ID above his head and cooperated with the verification process. However, when he returned later, the report mentioned that he had bloodshot and watery eyes, along with slurred speech.
A representative acknowledged that they had encouraged Young to "put some distance" between themselves and someone else. However, when a video of the incident surfaced, the general public showed their support for Young.
Taste of Country was given four different camera angles to assess the level of aggression displayed by the individual in the video. However, Young has not addressed the incident on social media as of now.
