Chris Young recently revealed the injuries he sustained during his encounter with Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) officers prior to his arrest. The physical pain he experienced was evident in the picture he shared.
On Tuesday (Jan. 30), the singer revealed to his fans the marks he got from being forcefully pushed by a police officer, which caused him to lose his balance and trip over the edge of a bar. These injuries consist of two noticeable and discolored bruises: one on the inner part of his arm, and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young expresses his discomfort with the photo being too close to his spine. He accompanies his post with a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song by the British rock band the Police released in 1980.
In the comments section of the post, numerous fans expressed sympathy towards Young and his experience, while there were also individuals who defended the actions of the officers.
A commenter questions the acceptability of the situation, stating that by suing them, one can contribute to preventing similar incidents from happening to others.
One person expresses their opinion by saying that they should not intervene in someone's job and they don't feel sympathy for them. 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 the Dawg House, a bar in Nashville. The charges against him include disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting a law enforcement officer.
However, the video evidence of the incident, captured by security cameras and other customers in the bar, presents a contrasting narrative. 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 over a bar.
The allegations against the singer were dismissed, and Young then confidently responded to the critics who believed he should not have made physical contact with the officer in the first place.
Since all charges against Young have been dropped, the incident is no longer a legal concern for him. He will probably resume promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
