Chris Young proudly responded to his critics, referred to as 'trolls,' after having all charges dropped following his arrest last Monday.
The musician used social media to share a surveillance video and address those who accused him of being at fault for physically touching a law enforcement officer.
The charges were dismissed last Friday after the Nashville District Attorney, Glenn Funk, completed his examination of the available evidence. It was revealed that the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had acknowledged pressuring Young to "create distance" following his attempt to intervene in their license check.
Taste of Country has obtained a video that shows Young's behavior as he attempts to prevent an agent, without displaying much aggression. From one perspective, it is uncertain whether he made any physical contact with the man.
The singer of "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he did not physically make contact with anyone. He recently posted a video on his TikTok where he addresses the incident publicly for the first time.
In response to those who are criticizing him by saying "Do not come into physical contact with a police officer," he clarifies that he did not physically touch the officer.
Since all charges have been dismissed, Young is no longer legally involved in the incident. He will probably resume his activities in promoting his upcoming album called Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
