Chris Young displayed his injuries from an encounter with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) before his recent arrest. The injuries he sustained were just as agonizing as they appeared.
The singer displayed his bruises to his followers on Tuesday (Jan. 30). These bruises were caused when a police officer forcefully pushed him, resulting in him losing his balance and tripping over the bar's edge. He suffered two noticeable bruises as a result of this incident – one on the inner side of his arm and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young shares a photo and expresses that the object in the photo is uncomfortably close to his spine. He sets his post to a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song by the British rock group, the Police, which was released in 1980.
In the section where comments are made on his post, a lot of fans showed sympathy towards Young's experience, while some others supported the actions of the officers.
A commenter questions the acceptability of allowing the occurrence of such actions and suggests that by taking legal action against the responsible party, one can contribute to preventing similar incidents from happening to others.
One person expresses their opinion by stating that they do not believe in interfering with someone's livelihood and cannot sympathize with the person. However, they still enjoy the person's music.
Earlier this month, the actor from the show "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville. The charges against him include disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer.
However, when examining the video evidence of the event, which includes footage from security cameras as well as recordings made by other customers present in the bar, it becomes clear that the situation unfolded differently. In the footage, Young can be seen behaving respectfully and compliantly towards the officers during his arrest. It appears that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and ultimately falling over a bar.
The accusations against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently responded to the people who believed he was wrong for making contact with the officer.
Now that all the accusations against Young have been dropped, the incident is no longer a legal issue for him. He will probably resume his activities in promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
