Chris Young displayed his injuries resulting from a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The injuries were just as severe as they appeared.
The singer revealed to his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he got from being pushed by a police officer, which made him lose his balance and fall into the corner of a bar. The bruises consist of two noticeable marks: one on the inner part of his arm and another on his lower back.
In the photo that Young shared, he expresses his discomfort by saying that the object is way too close to his spine. He accompanies his post with a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song from the 80s by the British rock band the Police.
In the comment section of his post, several fans showed empathy towards Young's situation, while others supported the actions taken by the officers.
A commenter is questioning the acceptability of allowing a certain action to occur, stating that by taking legal action against the responsible party, it can help prevent similar incidents from occurring to others.
One person expresses their opinion by saying that attempting to interfere with someone's employment is not acceptable, and they cannot feel sympathy for the person involved. Despite this, they still appreciate the individual's music.
Earlier this month, the actor known for his role in "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody at a bar in Nashville called the Dawg House. He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer.
However, the video evidence of the event, captured by security cameras and other customers in the bar, presents a contrasting narrative. The footage shows that Young was respectful and compliant with the police officers during his apprehension, and it appears that he barely made contact with one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and over a bar.
The charges against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently showed off to those who criticized him for engaging with the officer in the first place.
Now that all accusations against Young have been dropped, the situation is resolved from a legal standpoint. He will probably resume his efforts to promote his upcoming album, titled Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
