Chris Young displays the injuries he sustained during a confrontation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The physical pain he experienced was accurately reflected in the visual evidence.
The singer shared with his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he obtained when a police officer forcefully pushed him, resulting in him tripping and falling against a bar's corner. The injuries consist of two significant and dark bruises, one located on the inside of his arm and the other on his lower back.
Young expresses his discomfort with the close proximity of something to his spine in the photo he shares. He accompanies the post with a clip of the song "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by the British rock band the Police.
In the comment section of the post, a lot of fans expressed understanding towards Young's situation, while there were also some people who supported the actions taken by the officers.
One individual who commented questions the acceptability of allowing the responsible party to continue their actions without consequences, and suggests that by taking legal action, it can potentially prevent others from experiencing the same situation.
"I don't think it's right to interfere with someone's employment. I can't sympathize with you," another person shares their opinion. "Nevertheless, I still enjoy your music!"
Earlier this month, the actor known for his role in "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody after causing a disturbance, resisting arrest, and physically attacking a law enforcement officer at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville.
However, when observing the video evidence of the event, which includes footage from security cameras as well as recordings made by other individuals present at the bar, it becomes evident that the situation unfolded differently than initially described. In the video, Young can be seen being respectful and compliant with the arresting officers, and it appears that he only lightly made contact with one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and ultimately over a bar.
The charges against the singer were dismissed, and Young then showed off to the people who criticized him for touching the officer.
After all the charges against Young have been dropped, the incident is now resolved in terms of the law. It is expected that he will resume his efforts to promote his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
