Chris Young displayed the injuries he sustained during a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The injuries were just as agonizing as they appeared.
The singer shared with his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he obtained when a police officer forcefully pushed him, leading to him losing his balance and falling into a bar corner. These injuries consist of two notable bruises: one on the inner part of his arm and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young expresses that the object in the photo is uncomfortably close to his spine. He accompanies the 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 reading Young's post, a lot of fans expressed empathy towards his experience in the comments section. However, there were also some people who chose to defend the officers and their actions.
A commenter is questioning the acceptability of the actions performed by them and suggests that by filing a lawsuit, one can contribute to preventing similar incidents from occurring to others.
One person expresses their opinion by saying that they shouldn't interfere with someone's job and they don't feel sympathy towards them. However, 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 was arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer.
However, the video evidence of the occurrence, captured by security cameras and other individuals in the bar, portrays a contrasting narrative. The footage reveals that Young was respectful and compliant with the officers during his arrest, and it appears that he only lightly made contact with one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backward and over a bar.
The charges against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards Young confidently responded to the individuals who believed he should not have made contact with the officer.
Now that all the charges against Young have been dropped, the incident is no longer a legal issue for him. He will probably go back to promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
