Chris Young displayed the injuries he sustained during his encounter with Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) officers, which were just as agonizing as they appeared.
The singer revealed his bruises to his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30), which were caused when an officer pushed him forcefully, making him lose his balance and fall onto the corner of a bar. His injuries consist of two noticeable bruises: one on the inner side of his arm and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young expresses his discomfort with the close proximity of something to his spine. He shares a photo along with his statement and sets his post to a snippet of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song by the British rock band, the Police, released in 1980.
After reading Young's post, several fans expressed empathy towards his experience in the comments section. However, there were also individuals who stood up for the officers' actions.
One person commenting wonders how it is acceptable for them to engage in such behavior, and suggests that suing them can help prevent it from happening to others.
One person expresses their opinion, stating that they don't think someone should interfere with another person's job. They also mention that they can't sympathize with the person being discussed. However, they make it clear that they still enjoy the person's music.
Earlier this month, the actor from the show "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville. The charges against them include disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer.
However, the video evidence of the incident contradicts the initial narrative. Both security cameras and recordings from other customers in the bar capture a different sequence of events: Young can be seen being compliant and respectful towards the officers while being arrested. It appears that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and falling over a bar.
The charges against the singer were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently responded to those who criticized him for interacting with the officer.
After all the 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.
