Chris Young displayed his injuries from a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The encounter was just as physically painful as it appeared.
The singer shared with his fans the bruises he got on Tuesday (Jan. 30) as a result of being forcefully pushed by a police officer, which caused him to lose his balance and fall into a bar's corner. These injuries consist of two noticeable bruises: one located on the inner side of his arm, and the other on his lower back.
Young expresses in his post that the object in the photo is extremely close to his spine. He accompanies his post with a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song from the British rock band The Police, to emphasize his point.
After Young shared his experience, numerous fans expressed empathy in the comments section, while some individuals stood up for the officers and justified their actions.
A commenter expresses their concern about the situation, stating that by taking legal action against the responsible party, one can contribute to preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future. They question the ethicality of the actions of the responsible party
One person expresses their opinion by suggesting not to interfere with someone's job and claims they cannot feel sympathy for the person. However, they also mention that they still enjoy the person's music.
Earlier this month, the actor known for his role in "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville. He faced charges of 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. In the footage, Young is seen being respectful and compliant with the officers during his arrest. It appears that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backward and over a bar.
The singer's charges were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently responded to those who criticized him for initially making contact with the officer.
After being cleared of all charges, Young can finally put the incident behind him, at least from a legal perspective. He will probably resume his promotional activities for his upcoming album, "Young Love & Saturday Nights," which is set to be released on March 22.
