Chris Young displays the injuries he sustained during a confrontation with Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission officers, which occurred before his recent arrest. The injuries were visibly painful.
The singer shared with his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he got when a police officer forcefully pushed him, resulting in him losing his balance and falling into the corner of a bar. He sustained two noticeable bruises from this incident, one on the inner side of his arm and another on his lower back.
In the caption of the photo he shared, Young expresses that the object is positioned dangerously close to his spine. He accompanies his post with a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song released in 1980 by British rock band, the Police.
After reading Young's post, a lot of fans expressed empathy towards his experience in the comments section. However, there were also some individuals who stood up for the officers and defended their actions.
A commenter questions the justification of allowing them to engage in such behavior, suggesting that by taking legal action against them, you can contribute to preventing others from experiencing the same situation.
One person expresses their opinion by saying that one should not interfere with someone else's job and cannot empathize with them. Despite this, they still enjoy the person's music.
Earlier this month, the actor from "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody after getting involved in a commotion at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville. The charges against him include 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. According to the footage, Young seemed respectful and compliant with the officers during his apprehension. It appeared that he only lightly touched one of the officers before the individual forcefully shoved him backwards, causing him to fall over a bar.
The accusations against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently responded to those who criticized him for making contact with the officer.
Now that all the charges against Young have been dropped, he can put the incident behind him from a legal standpoint. He will probably go back to promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
