Chris Young confidently responded to his critics, known as 'trolls,' after the charges against him were dismissed following his arrest on Monday.
The artist used social media to share a surveillance video and address those who accused him of being at fault for physically engaging with a law enforcement officer.
On Friday, the Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk declared that he had completed his examination of the evidence and decided to dismiss the charges. Previously, the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission acknowledged that they had urged Young to keep his distance after he attempted to interfere with their license check.
A video, acquired by Taste of Country, depicts Young behaving calmly and without much aggression as he attempts to prevent an agent. It is uncertain from one perspective whether he actually made physical contact with the man.
The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he did not make physical contact with anyone. He has recently posted a video on his TikTok account where he addresses the incident for the first time.
The individual states that they did not physically make contact with the police officer, in response to those criticizing them and advising against doing so.
Since all charges have been dismissed, Young is no longer legally involved in the incident. He is expected to resume his promotional activities for his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
