Young expressed how much it meant to him to have so many friends and supporters who reached out to him and reassured him that they believed in his innocence.
"It was a relief to see the charges dropped. I wouldn't want anyone to experience what I went through. However, the silver lining was the overwhelming love and support I received."
The event occurred at a bar called the Dawg House located in the city center of Nashville.
Footage from a security camera captures Young appearing composed before he tries to grab the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission officer by reaching out his arm. The officer responds by pushing Young, causing him to fall backwards into the bar and collapse.
