Chris Young displayed the injuries he sustained during an altercation with officers from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) prior to his recent arrest. The visible injuries were just as agonizing as they appeared.
The singer shared with his fans on Tuesday (Jan. 30) the bruises he got from being pushed by a police officer, which caused him to lose his balance and fall into the corner of a bar. The bruises he sustained are noticeable and appear as two large, dark marks – one on the inside of his arm and another on his lower back.
In his post, Young expresses his discomfort with how close something is to his spine. He shares a photo along with his comment and sets his post to a clip of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," a popular song by the British rock group The Police from 1980.
After reading Young's post, a lot of fans expressed sympathy towards his experience in the comments section. However, there were also some who defended the actions of the officers.
A commenter questions the acceptability of the actions being discussed, and suggests that by taking legal action, it can contribute to preventing similar incidents from occurring to others in the future.
One person expresses their opinion by saying that they should not interfere with someone's profession and they do not have any sympathy for the person. Nonetheless, they still enjoy the person's music.
The actor from "Young Love & Saturday Nights" was taken into custody after being accused of engaging in disorderly behavior, refusing to cooperate with the arresting officers, and physically attacking a police officer at a bar called the Dawg House in Nashville a few weeks ago.
However, the video evidence of the event, captured by security cameras and fellow bar patrons, presents a contrasting narrative. It depicts Young as respectful and compliant while being apprehended by the officers. It shows that he only lightly touched one of the officers before being forcefully pushed backwards and ultimately falling over a bar.
The singer's charges were dismissed, and afterwards, Young confidently showed off to those who criticized him for touching the officer in the first place.
Now that all the accusations against Young have been dropped, the incident is no longer a legal concern for him. He will probably go back to focusing on promoting his upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, set to be released on March 22.
