Chris Young confidently responded to his critics after being exonerated of all accusations following his arrest last Monday.
The artist used social media to share a surveillance video and addressed those who claimed he was 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, resulting in the dismissal of charges. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission had acknowledged their involvement in urging Young to keep his distance after he attempted to interfere with their license check.
Taste of Country has acquired a video that depicts Young attempting to intervene with an agent's actions, displaying minimal aggression. From one perspective, it raises doubt as to whether Young made any physical contact with the individual.
The singer of the song "Young Love & Saturday Nights" claims that he did not physically harm anyone. He recently uploaded a video on TikTok where he addresses the incident publicly for the first time.
"I want to address the individuals who are criticizing me by saying, 'You shouldn't physically confront a police officer'… I want to clarify that I did not make any physical contact with him," he states.
Now that all charges have been dismissed, Young is no longer legally affected by the incident. He is expected to resume his promotional activities for his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Night, which is scheduled to be released on March 22.
