Chris Young confidently responded to his critics, commonly referred to as "trolls," after being acquitted of all charges stemming from his arrest on Monday.
Using social media, the singer shared a surveillance video along with a message addressing those who criticized him for touching a police officer, asserting his innocence.
On Friday, Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk declared that he had completed his examination of the evidence and decided to drop the charges. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had previously acknowledged their involvement in pressuring Young to "create distance" when he attempted to intervene in their license check.
A video obtained by Taste of Country depicts Young's non-aggressive behavior as he attempts to prevent an agent from proceeding. From one perspective, it is uncertain whether he actually made physical contact with the man.
The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he never made physical contact with anyone. In a recent video posted on his TikTok account, he addresses the incident for the first time.
"I didn't physically make contact with the police officer," he states in response to those who are criticizing him and advising against any form of interaction with law enforcement.
Now that all accusations have been dismissed, Young is no longer facing any legal consequences for the incident. He can now focus on resuming his promotional activities for his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
