Chris Young Clears His Name: Assault Charges Dropped and Trolls Put to Rest

  • by

Chris Young confidently addressed his critics after all accusations against him were dismissed in light of his recent arrest.

Using social media, the singer shared a surveillance video along with a message addressing those who accused him of wrongdoing for touching a law enforcement agent.

On Friday, Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk revealed that he had completed his examination of the evidence and decided to dismiss the charges. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had acknowledged that they had urged Young to step back when he attempted to intervene in their license check, in order to create separation.

Taste of Country obtained a video which reveals that Young displayed very little aggression while attempting to prevent an agent. From one perspective, it raises doubts about whether he even made physical contact with the man.

The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he never made any physical contact with anyone. He recently posted a video on his TikTok account 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 criticize him for supposedly doing so.

After having all the charges against him dismissed, Young is no longer legally involved in the incident. It is expected that he will resume promoting his forthcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
