Chris Young Clears His Name: Assault Charges Dropped and Trolls Shut Down

  • by

Chris Young confidently responded to his critics, commonly referred to as "trolls," after all accusations against him were dropped subsequent to his arrest last Monday.

Using social media, the singer shared a surveillance video along with a message to address those who believed he was at fault for physically engaging with a law enforcement officer.

On Friday, the Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk declared that he had completed his examination of the evidence and decided to dismiss the charges. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had previously acknowledged that they had urged Young to keep his distance after he attempted to intervene in their license check.

Taste of Country obtained a video that depicts Young displaying minimal aggression while attempting to restrain an agent. From one perspective, it is unclear whether Young actually made physical contact with the man.

The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he did not physically harm anyone. In a recent video posted on his TikTok account, he addresses the incident publicly for the first time.

He states that he did not physically make contact with the police officer, in response to those who criticize him by saying not to do so.

Since all charges have been dismissed, Young is no longer facing any legal consequences for the incident. He can now focus on promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
