Chris Young confidently responded to his critics, referred to as "trolls," after all the assault charges against him were dismissed. This came after his arrest on the previous Monday.
The artist used social media to share a surveillance video and address anyone who accused him of being at fault for touching 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. Earlier, the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had acknowledged their efforts to keep Young away from them after he attempted to interfere in their license check.
A video obtained from Taste of Country depicts Young's behavior where he appears to be non-confrontational while attempting to prevent an agent from doing something. From one perspective, it is uncertain if he even made physical contact with the man.
The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he never made physical contact with anyone. He recently posted a video on TikTok where he addresses the incident publicly for the first time.
"I didn't physically make contact with the police officer," he states in response to those who are criticizing him and advising against any interaction with law enforcement.
Since all charges have been dismissed, Young is no longer facing any legal repercussions. He can now focus on promoting his forthcoming album titled Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
